Text: Understand the original Chen Xuming
On October 22, at the 2021 AIT Dongguan Modification Auto Show, Zhichedi photographed the MINI JCW GP kit version of the model, but it needs to be clear that the car is based on the MINI JCW model to further upgrade the appearance of the car, rather than the world's limited 3,000 "genuine" MINI JCW GP model. Due to the limited production, there is no specific news and time for the "genuine" MINI JCW GP to be listed in China. However, this does not seem to affect our appreciation of this MINI JCW GP kit version.

The original MINI JCW GP first debuted at the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show, where it produced a limited 3,000 units at MINI's Oxford facility in the UK. As a high-performance model, its 2.0T engine can reach a maximum power of 310 horsepower, and the acceleration time of 0-100 km / h is 5.2 seconds, which is the "ultimate car" in the hearts of MINI fans!
The front of the car was upgraded to a JCW GP grille with GP markings
Carbon fiber air intakes above the hood
The two-tone bodywork is accented with chili red trim lines
The GP kit modeled after the MINI JCW GP makes the MINI JCW look more exciting. The chili red trim lines and GP markings on the front grille, rear and large rear wings make this model "fake".
Equipped with red brake calipers
The upgrade includes exterior details such as front grille, rearview mirror housing, door studs, side portholes, black waistline, side stickers, welcome pedals, rear tail cover carbon handles, carbon fiber air intakes, rims and more.
The large size of the tail wing with GP logo is very eye-catching
The mid-mounted dual exhaust air shows momentum
Upgraded parking brake lever, JCW Pro steering wheel
In the interior section, users can choose between an upgraded parking brake lever and the JCW Pro steering wheel. Above the glove box on the passenger side, the "genuine" MINI JCW GP model has a 3D printed vehicle number, emphasizing its 1/3000 identity, while the GP kit version does not "make a fuss" in this position, providing the iconic meter-shaped decoration of the MINI brand.
Ubiquitous GP logos are enough to "fake the truth"
In terms of power, the domestic MINI JCW three-door model for sale is equipped with a 2.0T four-cylinder turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 170 kW (231 hp), a maximum torque of 320 Nm, and a transmission system matching an 8-speed automatic transmission with a front-facing front-drive layout. The "genuine" MINI JCW GP sold abroad has undergone special suspension tuning and power upgrades, and the maximum power of the engine has been upgraded to 225 kW (310 hp) and the maximum torque of 450 Nm.
New car background, competitive product analysis:
For reference, the "genuine" MINI JCW GP starts at $45,750 in the U.S. market, and the price directly converted into RMB is 296,000 yuan, but according to the market law of such models, if the car comes to Domestic Sales, its price will far exceed this figure, after all, the starting price of the conventional version of MINI JCW has reached 341,800 yuan. Back to the domestic GP suite version, the official has not yet disclosed the specific price of the MINI JCW GP kit version model, and the car emperor will continue to pay attention.
