Every once in a while, Mini releases a monster of a Cooper with the designation of GP. It created
, and
, and they both featured less weight, more power, a big rear wing and no rear seat. They were the hardest-core of hardcore Minis. And now a third GP is coming in 2020.
The big little car brand announced the GP will return, but not much else. The only other detail shared was that it will have styling inspired by
the Mini John Cooper Works GP concept shown at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show
. As seen above, it was a thoroughly over-the-top interpretation of the GP with huge fender flares featuring big trailing fins. The rear wing was also enlarged to near comic proportions. We’ll see if Mini commits to the gonzo styling, or if it dials things way back.
To supplement the announcement of this new Mini, the company also announced a few special-edition Mini models on sale now or very soon. The most interesting of the three newly announced Minis is the Mini
Knights Edition. It’s a Mini JCW
in black with a silver roof, mirrors and hood stripes. On the sides are silver and red stripes, and all around the car is black trim. The door handles, badging and grille surround are all painted black. It’s a menacing-looking car, or at least as menacing as a Mini can look. It also gets the remote-controlled exhaust flap to go from mild to wild exhaust note at a push of the button. This model goes on sale in the first quarter of 2019.
Next month, you’ll be able to get your hands on the Mini
Yin Yang Edition. This is a basic Mini
in either black or white, with the other color for the roof and hood stripes. It also gets a black grille and black light trim. Then there’s the Mini
Starlight Edition. This is a
in dark blue with a silver roof, mirrors and hood stripes. It’s on sale now. Both special editions also throw in some luggage accessories as standard equipment.
