MINI has unveiled a new John Cooper Works GPt

Leveraging its motorsports expertise,
MINI

has unveiled a new John Cooper Works GP that it says is the fastest factory-built MINI ever made.

Just 2,000 examples of the JCW GP, which is based on the standard MINI CooperS, will be built. Honed on Germany’s Nürburgring-Nordschleife, where the coupe turned an 8 minute, 23 second lap, the car is substantially upgraded from its similarly named predecessor.

Visually, the JCW GP gains a more aerodynamic body kit, a new roof spoiler and a special rear diffuser, all of which are designed for optimal underbody air flow. Not surprisingly, the car also receives its own unique striping and badging kit. Special four-spoke wheels are exclusive to the JCW GP
.
MINI hasn’t released any specifications on the new JCW GP, but we expect to have further details closer to its on-sale date this fall.

Underneath, an adjustable race-oriented suspension keeps all four wheels firmly planted to the ground, while uprated brakes and special racing tries keep things in check. Once again, MINI has been uncharacteristically silent on specifics.

Pricing and specific market availability will be announced later this year, although MINI has confirmed that an unspecified number of JCW GPs have been earmarked for the United States.
