Agreed - most manufactures do this. Every once in while they don't. Even if they made it look that way, the question would be if they put in the HP/framework to make it have the speed to match the look. In the spy shots I've seen (link above) its going to be a pretty standard GP build. Mostly stock look with big wing. Probably have a nominal power increase (compared to what they could push through that engine), less weight, bigger brakes. Will be a good platform to build I'm sure but it won't be an M car out of the box.

 

I thought of the checkmate too.

 

There are two articles on it.. https://carbuzz.com/news/mini-cooper-works-gp-will-be-the-insane-mini-we-ve-always-wanted

That said, I have not found a wide spread amount of information about it.

 

Most important part of this article... "

• Confirms series production of the new MINI John Cooper Works GP for launch in 2020

Yea.. I was hoping they make it a wide body hooligan like the concept. Not sure thats going to be the case give the spy photo's..

 

Yea all the pictures of the Knights edition. But they also confirm there will be a GP.... what they don't say is it's not the prototype GP we saw all the pictures from. In the GP spy shots, it looks like a pretty standard GP with a wing. None of the wide body stuff.

 

What spy shots?

 

It would be nice if they went all out with it!
