Picked up a dream purchase on Saturday.
Its a 2013 MINI Hatch John Cooper Works GP. Its on 71 000km.
So to explain to those who don't know what this is.
1 of 2000 in the world, 1 of 30 in SA.
Its 160-170kw 1.6L Turbocharged
It comes with a unique paint colour - Thunder Grey
Unique Aero Kit and Diffuser - 6% Less Drag compared to a normal JCW
Unique carbon fibre spoiler
Lightweight racing wheels
Custom spec tyres for handling (Weird size too)
It has a rear delete - no seats
It has no extras, no cruise no rear speakers no steering controls
It comes with a thicker steering wheel
It comes with front and rear body stiffeners
The motor has lightweight cams, crank and higher compression for track use
It comes with Bilstein adjustable coilovers - 20mm height and soft hard setting with camber plates
It has M sport 6 pot Brembo Calipers off a 135i with 330mm discs
The interior has a leather covered dash and some other unique features
It has Recaro sport seats in half alcantara half leather (heated)
The car features all available JCW addons including exhaust, intake etc
It is purpose built for track days and up until the GP3 in 2020 it was the fastest production mini in the world. It was developed on the Nurburgring with the specific intent to be outrageously quick.
The cars feature a custom decal kit, brake cooling ducts etc. In short it's an ultra rare, track focused hatch built with no compromise.
I have done 300km in it already and it is, simply put, stupendous - Nothing like any MINI I have driven or owned, and I have had 5 already.
