Mini India Opens Pre-Bookings for 30-Unit Cooper S GP Inspired Edition

The 30-unit run signals Mini’s push to court collectors with JCW-inspired styling at a likely premium.

Overview

  • Pre-bookings for the GP Inspired Edition opened Tuesday in India with a Rs 1.5 lakh token, and deliveries are slated to begin in May 2026.
  • The edition is based on the Cooper S with the John Cooper Works pack and sits above the JCW Pack in Mini’s line-up.
  • The car adds race-themed details such as Legend Grey paint with a Chilli Red roof, GP decals, JCW body kit, 17-inch black alloys, and a C-pillar badge reading “1 of 30.”
  • The cabin features JCW sport seats, a JCW steering wheel, and tech including a 9.4-inch round touchscreen, wireless charging, a head-up display, a panoramic roof, and Level 1 driver aids.
  • Mechanical specs mirror the Cooper S with a 2.0-litre turbo petrol, a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, about 300 Nm, and a 0–100 km/h time of 6.6 seconds, while outlets differ on output at 201 bhp or 204 hp.
