2013 Mini Cooper JCW GP Spotted

Our Teamspeed spies stationed at the Nürburgring have spotted one hot new hatch from Mini, The JCW GP, based on the updated Cooper S. The key indicators that confirm to us this is the GP version are the new front bumper/spoiler, huge rear diffuser clearly derived from the Challenge race car, and of course the massive spoiler at the back end of the roof. We will also spot unique 18″ wheels and an aggressive lowered stance thanks to the standard JCW suspension.

Power is expected to be at least 220 horsepower and together with less weight this could be the pocket rocket all Mini fans have been waiting for.

Officially the car will make it’s final production debut at the Paris Motor Show this September.
