Limited to 2,000 units like its predecessor, the GP2 replaced the supercharged engine with a turbocharged powerhouse, boasting 218 hp and 192 lb-ft of torque, propelling it to 62 mph in 6.3 seconds.
Adorned in Thunder Grey with red accents, the GP2’s distinctive features include exclusive 17-inch wheels, rear-seat removal for reduced weight, and upgraded brakes with 330-mm front discs. With a coilover suspension and aero body kit, the GP2 embodies MINI’s commitment to high-performance design.
Only in late 2019 that the MINI revives the Grand Prix legacy with the GP3. Yet, the question remains—will a GP4 with a combustion engine precede the brand’s 2030 electric pledge? Navigating through MINI’s racing chronicles, the anticipation for the next Grand Prix chapter intensifies, echoing the brand’s dedication to performance and innovation.
