MINIUSA has announced pricing on the 300 HP 2020 JCW GP and it’s aggressive. For $44,900 you get a level of performance never seen in the brand’s history. Given the performance and capability improvements over the previous $39,950 GP, the increase seems more than justified on paper. We’ll have much more in the days ahead. Is the price justified? Would you pay $45 K for the new GP?
Official Release: 2020 JCW GP Pricing Announced by MINIUSA
MINI USA is pleased to announce the U.S. market pricing of the new MINI John Cooper Works GP – the third generation of MINI’s exclusive high-performance model. The new MINI John Cooper Works GP will reach US showrooms mid 2020 with a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $44,900 plus an additional $850 Destination & Handling fee.
With an engine output of 301hp (US SAE), and achieving a lap time on the Nürburgring Nordschleife of less than eight minutes, the new MINI John Cooper Works GP will come to market as the fastest-ever-produced model in the 60-year history of the British brand.
The new MINI John Cooper Works GP features a powerful four-cylinder turbocharged engine, unique, custom-tuned chassis technology, and an aerodynamically optimized exterior appearance. Backed by the racing know-how of John Cooper Works, MINI’s exclusive, extreme sports car increases the bar for performance in the small car segment.
The new MINI John Cooper Works GP will make its world premiere at the Los Angeles Auto Show in California, open to the public from November 22 to December 1, 2019.
Global production will be exclusively limited to only 3,000 units, produced at MINI’s factory located in Oxford, England.
<p>$31,150.00 MSRP For the 2006</p>
<p>$39,950.00 MSRP For the 2012</p>
<p>$44,900.00 MSRP For the 2020</p>
<p>…I would take the 2006 any day of the week.</p>
<p>Having driven both (and the 2006 pretty extensively a few months ago) I’m not sure I wouldn’t choose the 2012. It’s extraorindally underrated.</p>
<p>On the contrary, it is very accurately estimated, considering the more than random reliability of the engine</p>
<p>Assuming you care for
it (as you would a GP) it can be fine.</p>
<p>For my money I’d opt for a nice used M2.</p>
<p>I’m with you ulrichd. I can’t get past the looks. It doesn’t look purposeful; rather, it looks like a poorly designed aftermarket body kit. If I had to have a GP, I’d opt for the second generation car.</p>
<p>I’m on the list for one.</p>
