@Redbeard Me too! I don't get them doing this when this car is aimed at the enthusiast.

N2MINI MINI of the Month
Which video has the correct car in it. The video close to the top of this page April 22, is a much tuned down version of what was originally shown a couple years ago. The video Dave posted April 24th still looks like the original but has price tag of over $70,000
So would you rather have to top car for $50,000 plus
or the 2nd car for $70,000 plus..... -
Being in the +50k to +70k arena it had better be really good car that recognizes its niche and the enthusiast that would want to own one. I’m not so sure that those parameters are being met.

There is so much about this car that doesn't do it for me. I guess the only thing that doesn't bother me about this car is the dual clutch gearbox.
Having lived with a DSG four years I really like it. They should have put a manual in this car. Oh & that pricing if true is justa nuts.

308 GTS $40,500......All day every day! If you move up to 60K there a lot of very nice cars out there. If the GP is going to be 40+K it needs to be the prototype, or very very close -

Although old both of my hands, both of my feet and both of my knees still function. The brain is not as sharp or quick as it once was but still good enough to a drive stick and take corners fast enough to get the adrenaline pumping. In like five years if things have changed I might be interested in a used GP3 with an auto . . . . . .
The marketing of the car is just pure genius. "We cannot tell you what horsepower, what transmission or really anything other than it will say MINI, but, if you want one in another year and half you need to go sign up NOW!"-

Or you could just buy this used for less.

Or this one which is a much better car all around.

It is interesting marketing, not releasing the specs of the car. Certainly creating a lot of buzz. At MOTD, a GP2 owner had his up for sale as he already put a deposit on one. He said the dealer has given him a range from 40's to 65K.. i.e. he doesn't actually know what the price will be yet.

I chose that 308 for its price. There are several Ferrari’s for sale for under 60k on autotrader. Yes stock they don’t have much horsepower, nothing from the 80’s did but it is not poo. I have driven them, they are very fun cars that handle well. The difference in it and a GP is I won’t lose money on a Ferrari.
I know how to work on them, that’s my background before I decided to fly. The last place I worked for was a Maserati dealer, as a mechanic.
I agree with everyone’s post. But given my situation there other cars I would spend my money on in the 40-60k range-
