Mini India has officially opened pre-bookings for the new Mini Cooper S GP-inspired edition. Enthusiasts can reserve their unit exclusively at their nearest Mini dealership. This special edition is strictly limited to just 30 units, making it a highly exclusive offering.
Pricing and Delivery Timeline
The price announcement for the Mini Cooper S GP-inspired edition is expected shortly. Deliveries are scheduled to commence in May 2026, giving customers a clear timeline for when they can expect their vehicle.
Exterior Design and Styling
The Mini Cooper S GP-inspired edition boasts a distinctive dual-tone finish with a ‘Legend Grey’ exterior complemented by a ‘Chilli Red’ roof and ORVMs. The model features GP-inspired decals along the sides, while the C-pillar proudly displays the individual unit number of each car, emphasizing its limited-run status. Based on the JCW Pack, this edition retains sport-oriented design elements such as revised bumpers, a rear spoiler, a black rear diffuser, a centrally positioned exhaust outlet, and black alloy wheels. Red highlights on the bumpers, side sills, and wheel centre caps further differentiate it from the standard JCW Pack-equipped Cooper S.
Interior and Features
While the interior of the Mini Cooper S GP-inspired edition has not been fully revealed, it is expected to continue the JCW Pack’s red-and-black theme. Anticipated features include sports seats finished in black synthetic leather with knitted fabric inserts, red contrast stitching, and a sport-oriented steering wheel. The cabin is likely to come equipped with a circular OLED touchscreen running MINI Operating System 9, along with voice control, a head-up display, a Harman Kardon audio system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, navigation, remote services, a digital key, multiple drive modes, a toggle-based control interface, wireless charging, and systems such as cruise control and parking assist. Safety equipment includes airbags, ABS, dynamic stability control, and a rear-view camera.
Powertrain and Performance
Powertrain details for the GP-inspired edition have not been officially confirmed, but it is expected to feature a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine producing 204 hp and 300 Nm of torque, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The standard version accelerates from 0 to 100 kph in 6.6 seconds and has a top speed of 242 kph. The GP-inspired edition is expected to deliver similar performance figures. Additionally, JCW adaptive suspension and JCW sport brakes are likely to be part of the package.
