[Video] Check out the MINI John Cooper Works GP Concept’s First Video!

Check out his very first video of the MINI John Cooper Works GP Concept! MINI has just unveiled this model today and it embodies the modern racing essence of the brand. We’d be very happy if the production model stays true to this motto. It is highly likely that the production model will also be produced in limited number like the ones before it.

“The MINI John Cooper Works GP Concept is all about the unfettered feeling of driving and levels of performance found in motor sport competition,” said Peter Schwarzenbauer, Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, responsible for MINI, Rolls-Royce and BMW Motorrad. “This is driving fun in its purest form.”

This John Cooper Works GP Concept model focuses on purity and emotion. It has large front and rear aprons, side skirts and a prominent roof spoiler create a confident appearance. The use of lightweight materials such as carbon fiber optimizes the car’s power-to-weight ratio.

“If you know about MINI, you’ll be aware of the brand’s long and successful history in motor sport,” said Adrian van Hooydonk, Senior Vice President BMW Group Design. “The MINI John Cooper Works GP Concept brings together the full suite of defining MINI design features and showcases them at their sportiest and most exciting. What we’re looking at here is maximum performance, maximum MINI.” Let’s just hope that a lot of what we’re looking at here will also be leaving the assembly lines in Oxford.

The first appearance of this Concept will be at the Frankfurt Motor Show later this month.
