The MINI Cooper S with John Cooper Works (JCW) GP Kit made its first public viewing at the Geneva Motor Show. The fastest, most powerful production MINI ever will reach 62mph in under 6.5 seconds and achieve a top speed of 146mph. The GP has a power output of 218bhp, a stunning 136bhp per litre, and a maximum torque of 245Nm.

Only 2000 of this special production model will be built and 444 are bound for the UK from July onwards. The guide price is £22,000 which includes £10,000 worth of additional equipment if specified on a standard MINI Cooper S. Almost three-quarters of the UK allocation have already been ordered by MINI enthusiasts six months ahead of launch.

The Mini Cooper S is Sporty and Supercharged

The John Cooper Works kit is a definitive add-on for MINI Cooper S and MINI Cooper S Convertible. A host of under-the-bonnet extras will provide even more zest and agility, sending the driving-fun factor sky-high. This is a must for all driving enthusiasts.
