IN & OUT!
Another beauty that left us right after getting in. This 2006 MINI Cooper S JCW GP only has 65.000 km's on the odometer and is the perfect collector's item. It was a pleasure to have number #0896 out of only 2,000 cars in our showroom but now the new owner will enjoy this truely unique MINI. They even decided to build a GP2 and GP3 model after the great success of this nimble hot hatch.
Hot hatch specials have always been a great choice since they're the perfect mix between daily usability and a sporty driving sensation. Whether it is for a night out, a weekend abroad or a trackday, this MINI Cooper S Works GP feels at home at any occasion. MINI binned the rear seats, contributing to a 50kg weight loss, which is significant in such a small car. The final kerb weight is just 1,090kg, good for a 0-100km/h sprint in just 6.5 seconds with the spicy 1.6 litre supercharged four-cylinder engine. 218 horses are pushing this car but honestly, it feels like way more due to the low weight and great suspension setup. The GP sits 10mm lower than a contemporary Cooper S and the suspension is stiffer. Together with the limited-slip differential on the front axle, this provides the ultimate go-kart feeling.
And it's not all about the looks. The Thunder Blue paintjob, red mirrors, four-spoke wheels and unique aerodynamics make this car look as fast as it is. The exhaust pops and crackles and the supercharger adds a cool sound to the engine. All these lovely noises are real, not manufactured-in fake exhaust notes as we find in most modern cars. If you ever get the chance, hop inside these Recaro seats and get ready for an unforgettable ride. This one's already SOLD but we're keeping our eyes open for similar iconic cars like this one. See you at Premium Classics!
