MINI India has officially launched the MINI Cooper S GP Inspired Edition in India at an ex-showroom price of ₹58.90 lakh. Designed as a tribute to MINI’s track-focused GP lineage, the exclusive hatchback will be limited to only 30 units for the Indian market, making it one of the rarest MINI offerings currently on sale in the country.
The special edition was unveiled at the newly inaugurated MINI Eminent Cars dealership in Surat and is being brought to India as a Completely Built-Up Unit (CBU). Bookings are already underway across authorised MINI dealerships, while deliveries are scheduled to begin this month itself.
Inspired by MINI’s Racing Heritage
The GP Inspired Edition is based on the Cooper S with the John Cooper Works (JCW) Pack and borrows several styling cues from the hardcore MINI GP models sold internationally. The hatchback is finished in an exclusive Legend Grey paint scheme contrasted by Chilli Red accents on the roof, ORVM caps, bonnet stripes, winglets and tow strap.
Additional cosmetic upgrades include:
- JCW aerodynamic body kit
- Redesigned front and rear bumpers
- Roof spoiler
- Rear diffuser
- GP-inspired decals
- Illuminated door sills
- Exclusive ‘1 of 30’ badging on the C-pillar
- 17-inch black alloy wheels
Inside, the cabin continues the sporty theme with premium upholstery, digital displays and JCW-inspired detailing aimed at enthusiasts looking for a more aggressive and exclusive MINI experience.
Turbocharged Performance Remains Intact
Powering the MINI Cooper S GP Inspired Edition is the familiar 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine producing 204 hp and 300 Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission driving the front wheels.
Performance figures remain impressive for a compact premium hatch:
- 0-100 km/h in 6.6 seconds
- Top speed of 242 km/h
The GP Inspired Edition retains MINI’s trademark go-kart-like handling characteristics while adding a more aggressive visual package and enhanced exclusivity.
