    Remember its only F56 MINI John Cooper Works Concept

    I am sure they will be able to make it look worse if we just give them time. :devil::lol:

    Maybe a triple catfish mouth will be an option. :idea:

    Not a chance. I'm guessing it will be around $35k for a JCW, still over priced for what it is.

    I figure if they can make the JCW version look better than the S, then the GP3 will look awesome. That and we all know that the GP2 is already a better performer than the GP1, so it is just natural that the GP3 will be even better.:wink:

    I figured you weren't going to sell the GTI. Justa the smart arse in me horsing around.

    The one thing that the GP3 does is make that GP2 look so much better. :D One thing for sure the GP3 will be hella spensive.

    I'm good with it, because I wasn't planning to get a JCW hatch anyway. :lol:

    Yellow is a good color because when I see it I speed up because the next color is red.

    I can't believe you geniuses missed it. :frown2:
    Look closely at the pictures. This JCW Concept isn't painted - it's stainless steel. :eek6:
    The gullwing doors won't open, and the windows are blacked out so you can't see the mid-mounted, rear-drive Renault V-6. :confused:
    OMG, it's John Z. DeLorean's long-lost MINI prototype! :yikes:

    Probably not without some serious modification - the shape of the roof is different.

    The press release is for nothing more than an appearance trim package. I guess that's what JCW has become.

    The real JCW (hardtop) will remain its own model and will appear as a 2015. This is only a concept, with no interior or engine. The JCW packages will continue on all the other MINI models.
