The sporty sound of the four-cylinder turbo also fits.

Even drivers of a Mercedes E-Class or a BMW 3 Series are amazed: we are traveling in a Mini on the German Autobahn and we are not stopping in the fast lane. The E-Class accelerates to 230 km / h before it lets us pass. The 3er gives up at 250 km / h as we roar past with a powerful roar. Our digital speedometer shows 267 km / h before we brake for the next exit.

Almost 270 km / h top speed in a mini – that’s an announcement! But we don’t drive any mini, but the fastest production mini ever – the John Cooper Works GP! The British are building a small series of the little Kraftmeier for the third time. The two predecessors still had 218 hp (160 kW) and covered 242 km / h. With the third generation, Mini has made a real leap forward. Because now the four-cylinder turbo has 306 hp (225 kW). That is as much power as the other John Cooper Works models, but unlike the Clubman and Countryman, it does not have a 4×4.

The GP is that fast
In the GP only the front wheels with the 306 HP and 450 Nm have to cope. Overwhelmed? No! Differential lock and sports tires do little miracles to bring the power to the street as humanely as possible and to catapult the GP to 100 in 5.2 seconds. But not only straight ahead, but also on the winding roads in Upper Bavaria’s no man’s land, the lock and tires work impressively.

The aerodynamic concept is also right. We quickly notice that the spoiler trim at the front and especially at the rear is not only for the cool look, but also has a sporty meaning. The rear shows itself to be stable in tight bends at bold tempos. Great once again the precise and not too smooth steering, with which we have the GP under control at all times.

Wild manners
Yes, the John Cooper Works GP is hungry, snappy, and a little wild. But it never looks like a souped up and overly tuned small car. The little one has manners with his complete training dress and sporty automatic transmission. Manners that we could hardly have expected of him, but the sports suspension is simply sensational.

The interior of the Sport-Mini is so martial with its carbon elements on the wheel arches. As with his ancestors, the rear seats have disappeared, and instead a bright red strut provides more rigidity. Without seats or cargo space paneling, there is a bit of a roar inside, but that hardly matters, because what some call rioting is music to the ears of others.
–
There is also the well-known mini-interior with splendid sports seats that give the best lateral support and are probably a lot of fun even on longer journeys. Of course with shift paddles on the steering wheel. On request, navigation systems, automatic climate control or seat heating can be omitted. In Switzerland, 100 customers can now look forward to the hit. Only as many Mini John Cooper Works GP come to us from CHF 52,900.
