What makes the MINI John Cooper Works GP, and others, so special? 

The new MINI John Cooper Works GP is the perfect combination of power, legacy, and design. Now boasting our new 301 horsepower 4-cylinder engine with MINI TwinPower Turbo Technology sets a new standard for MINI special editions and the small car segment. The new 2021 GP is our third generation of the MINI JCW hardtop, a pure racing expression John Cooper would be proud of. This newest iteration is both new and legendary at the same time, uncompromising in power and performance, and yet a testament and nod to the first and second generation GP. 

The MINI JCW GP is a beast that bites back. 

Standing out above similar entrants like it’s older brother the MINI Cooper S and competitive cars like the Porsche GT-3 (yes, we totally just said that). While the GP is several seconds faster than the standard S Hardtop 2 Door, the GT-3 is only a second faster than the MINI. Sure, you can spend four times as much on the GT and carry the badge of being a Porsche owner, or you can buy a MINI JCW GP for everyone in your family and have fun together. We can make the same argument for the Mercedes AMG GT-R, but at this point, you might as well throw in the Honda Civic Type R. The bottom line is simple: The MINI JCW GP is the most unique MINI in our lineup, comparable to GT models four times its cost, and puts more smiles on faces while keeping the change at home.

MINI has a history of special editions. 

It’s not just the John Cooper Works GP that stands apart in a crowded field. With it’s rabid fan base, MINI pleases the crowd with regular special editions to its current lineup. While we average selling a MINI a day to happy clients, we have a growing list of those who reserve special editions like the MINI Cooper S Convertible Sidewalk Edition, the 1499 GT Special Edition, the 2 Door and 4 Door Coral Red Edition, and the Oxford Editions (and more, of course). MINI isn’t just about what you can get right now; it’s about getting what you really want, customizing it with a client advisor, and dreaming about it while you wait for delivery. 

If you know, you know. 

MINI drivers are the kind that waves to you as you roll past them in your MINI. We give the thumbs up when we see a special edition, a gentle nod when the original comes to a stop light, but more than anything, we appreciate the brand and lifestyle afforded to us as MINI drivers in the most beautiful place on the planet; sunny San Diego. Stay classy.
