Munich. The MINI John Cooper Works GP distils the racing essence of the modern MINI. Inspired by the brand’s legendary motor racing achievements, this model – limited to just 3,000 units – embodies maximum performance and uncompromising dynamics.
A rarity with racing genes sets new benchmarks for performance in the premium small car segment. The new MINI John Cooper Works GP (combined fuel consumption: 7.3 l/100 km, combined CO2 emissions: 167 g/km) is the fastest model of the British brand that has ever been approved for road use. A 225 kW/306 hp 4-cylinder turbocharged engine accelerates the two-seater model – based on the MINI 3 door – from zero to 100 km/h in just 5.2 seconds.
Active driving programmes in more than 30 countries on five continents +++ Course offering expanded in the area of electric mobility +++ More than 125,000 participants worldwide each year
The heritage British brand celebrates its 60th anniversary and presents driving fun MINI-style in the largest bandwidth of its history – the US auto-show premiere of the all-electric MINI Cooper SE and the new top athletes from the John Cooper Works are the focus of the exhibition in California.
The MINI Lifestyle Collection presents a range of original ideas for the festive period.
Of all possible road trips California’s Highway #1 seems the most fitting for the all-electric MINI Cooper SE. We hit this “scenic byway” from San Francisco to Los Angeles and realize that our car and the route have things in common: As the ideas of Silicon Valley complement the dreams of Hollywood our trip will connect vision and fantasy with technology and link emotions with the future. The dream factory meets the innovation factory. A perfect match.
Thanks to the latest battery-cell technology, the new MINI Cooper SE accomplishes both the way and the return on a weekend trip from Hamburg to Sylt without a charging stop.
You simply can’t get more efficient. Thanks to two-stage adjustable recuperation activated by a toggle switch, the first all-electric MINI can power round the legendary North Loop of the Nürburgring without having to apply the brakes once.
Together with five partners, MINI has created a unique urban store concept at Lenbachplatz in Munich+++Opening on 12 October 2019+++The new MINI Electric* as highlight at the opening
Limitless reserves for high-altitude flights of fancy – with the new MINI Cooper SE over the Transfăgărăşan through the Carpathian Mountains in Romania. A journey that is a tough assignment for many conventionally powered vehicles proves to be a bagatelle for the first local zero-emission MINI. Lots of hillclimbs and some spectacular downhill descents through Europe’s most beautiful natural landscape with a difference in height of more than 1400 metres.
Innovative detail ensures stylish appearance – floating wheel hub mounting keeps the brand logo in the upright position even while driving – Original Accessory now available from MINI partners as well as from the online MINI Shop.
Since 1 July 2019, Thomas Sycha has been the head of Exterior Design at MINI. Ever since, automobiles and their different characters have fascinated the 55-year old Polish national.

Locally emissions-free from Munich to Frankfurt/Main – The first purely electrically powered model of the British premium brand makes the trip to its trade fair debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show with just one stopover – The high-voltage battery's fast charging capability enables sustainable driving fun beyond day-to-day urban traffic.
Right from the start, the classic Mini was a member of high society: royalty, film stars, musicians and celebrities from the world of fashion succumbed to the charm of the British original. To mark the brand's birthday, MINI presents a restored classic Mini in the striped design of the 60 Years Lifestyle Collection.
Show premiere for the all-electric MINI Cooper SE – New battery cell technology extends electric range of the MINI Cooper S E Countryman ALL4 plug-in hybrid by 30 per cent – Traditional British brand reflects on its 60-year heritage, presents current model range, new customisation options and the latest accessory and lifestyle products in Hall 11 at the Frankfurt trade fair arena.
The original in the premium segment of small cars has reached its 60th birthday – but it is even younger than ever. It was sixty years ago, to be precise on 26 August 1959, that British Motor Corporation (BMC) proudly revealed the result of their development activities in creating a new, revolutionary compact car.
At the Monterey Car Week 2019 in California in the US, MINI was celebrating 60 years of the brand’s existence with the presentation of two new models – The new MINI John Cooper Works GP and the new MINI Cooper SE represent the future bandwidth in the model range of the British premium automobile manufacturer.
