The Mini John Cooper Works GP Concept debuted in September 2017 at Frankfurt Motor Show. It made a statement with large front and rear aprons, a striking roof spoiler, and an extensive use of lightweight materials. The design study picked up where the previous two John Cooper Works GP production models left off.

Expect to see a newly designed suspension to accommodate the powertrain. This Mini JCP GP promises performance, so design will support that first and foremost.

The new Mini John Cooper Works GP has its one on sportiness, and draws from its history to make a major racing machine. The Nürburgring-Nordschleife lap time achieved by the predecessor model was 8:23 minutes, faster than a number of sports cars from other segments. The 2012 model had a limited production of 2,000 vehicles. So we expect this faster more track-oriented Mini to also be a hot get for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
