    At 211hp the GP isn’t setting any records for output of a 1.6L turbocharged four cylinder. Not that it’s low but many of you obviously expected the ultimate MINI to achieve greater figures. So now it’s your turn to let MINI hear your voice. JCW GP Final Specifications (PDF)

    No.

    Should have 250 at the flywheel at least.

    Nope my R53 makes more than that ugly thing. :lol::devil:

    Like Mark said it needs at least 250Whp to stand out as a "one off 1 year only limited edition run of 2000" in a special color.

    They should have really made it special and just not add stickers, coilovers, real tires and remove the back seat. They really needed to add a crazy HP and Tq #'s too.

    The original has the same issue. For a one off this thing needs to fly buy a standard JCW, not creep buy.
