The Mini rulebook has definitely been thrown out when designing the latest GP model! Performance reducing aspects have been stripped away in order to optimise the vehicles speed and capabilities to the max. Boxy wheel arches and rear seats have been removed in addition to a suspension overhaul for stability. In place of the seats there is a strengthening bar to improve the rigidity of the car. In the quest for lightness, a carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic is used in a variety of areas.
This GP’s 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine pushes out a hefty 302ghp and 450Nm. This power is dispatched to the front wheels via an eight-speed automatic gearbox (no manual option) and aids the Mini in achieving 0-60mph in just five seconds before potentially reaching a top speed of 165mph.
To top it all off, this Mini’s style will surely turn heads with its hug rear spoiler, new wheel arches, large central twin exhaust and sleek, aerodynamic body.
