Are you ready to take-off ? Fasten your seat belt ! The power of the new Mini John Cooper Works GP offers a thrust that is more familiar of aircrafts than a family sedan. And for good reason: it propels itself from the stop at 100 km / h in only 5.2 seconds. The British brand had never produced such a fast model (among its models allowed to drive on open road). Its secret is hidden under the hood: its four-cylinder engine has a power of 225 kW and 306 horsepower.

This new, sporty-looking Mini boasts a prestigious lineage: formula 1 manufacturer John Cooper Works' know-how has been mobilized to design its chassis, and its classy bodywork has been optimized for aerodynamics and agility. Her performances are worthy of this heritage of racing: in her first tests, she made a lap of the Nürburgring Nordschleife in less than 8 minutes, 30 seconds less than the previous model of the same name.
