Re: New Mini GP

My dealer offered us one of these, since we already have a 210bhp Mini Cooper S Works, but I wasn't interested. I'm sure it will be a great deal of fun, but very impractical and let's face it. It looks silly.

Re: New Mini GP

There has been quite a bit of discussion about these on the MINI forums, mixed opinions. A little more HP, 218 vis 210 for the standard Works package, 40 kg. less weight (mostly as a result of losing the rear seats). I am on the list for one at my dealer, but no price has been released in the USA yet so I'm not sure if I will buy. We have a modified 2003 MC S that has been a lot of fun.

You mean the current model will no longer be produced?

Re: New Mini GP

Yes, that's right. Some are calling it a facelift, but it's pretty substantial (new engines, new interior, new body panels). My UK dealer is expecting to see cars before the end of this year.

That's not a facelift but a transplant.
