Mini India has announced pre-bookings for the new Mini Cooper S GP-inspired edition. Interested customers can book the car exclusively at their nearest mini dealership. The new Mini Cooper S GP-inspired edition will be limited to just 30 units. A price announcement is expected soon, with deliveries slated to begin in May 2026.
In terms of design, the MINI Cooper S GP Inspired Edition gets a dual-tone finish in ‘Legend Grey’ exterior with a ‘Chilli Red’ roof and ORVMs. The model also features GP-inspired decals on the sides, while the C-pillar bears each car’s individual unit number to mark its limited run status. Based on the JCW pack, the edition retains sporty design elements such as a revised bumper, a rear spoiler, a black rear diffuser, a centrally positioned exhaust outlet and black alloy wheels. Red highlights on the bumpers, side sills and wheel center caps further distinguish it from the standard JCW Pack-equipped Cooper S.
The interior of the Mini Cooper S GP-inspired edition has not been revealed, although the cabin is expected to continue with the red and black theme of the JCW pack. It is expected to get sports seats finished in black synthetic leather with woven fabric inserts, red contrast stitching and a sport-oriented steering wheel. Expected features include a circular OLED touchscreen running MINI Operating System 9 with voice control, a head-up display, a Harman Kardon audio system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, navigation, remote services, a digital key, multiple drive modes, a toggle-based control interface, wireless charging and systems like Control Assist Park. Safety equipment includes airbags, ABS, dynamic stability control and a rearview camera. Powertrain details are yet to be confirmed, but it is expected to get a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine producing 204hp and 300Nm, mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic. The standard version accelerates from 0-100kph in 6.6 seconds and has a top speed of 242kph, and the GP Inspired Edition is expected to deliver similar performance figures. JCW adaptive suspension, JCW sport brakes are also expected.
