How do you guarrantee cult status of the new MINI GP? Offer only 3000 units worldwide and give it 300HP!

We know the car will be good…but will it be great? Will it be cult worthy? The Germans are currently testing this at the Nordschleife (Northern Loop) of the Nürburgring. With the previous series (2013 R56) GP setting a time of 8min 23sec. Word is the new GP has already cracked 8min!

Have they done this with all wheel traction? Maybe a similar set up to the JCW Countryman. How will it handle the torque steer if they stick to front wheel drive? DSC can only help so much.

There is one thing for sure, MINI always pull together fast, fun and cult worthy cars. We expect the GP will be off the scale.

What are your thoughts on the new GP so far?
