Mini India finally launched the new Mini Cooper S GP-inspired edition in the Indian market, priced at Rs 58.9 lakh (ex-showroom). Pre-bookings are already underway. 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, and the deliveries will begin this month. The Mini Cooper S GP-inspired edition is powered by a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine producing 204hp and 300Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic. The hatch accelerates from 0-100kph in 6.6 seconds and has a top speed of 242kph.

In terms of design, the MINI Cooper S GP Inspired Edition gets a dual-tone finish with a ‘Legend Grey’ exterior paired with a ‘Chilli Red’ roof and ORVMs. The model also features GP-inspired decals along the sides, while the C-pillar carries the individual unit number of each car to mark its limited-run status. Based on the JCW Pack, the edition retains sport-oriented design elements such as revised bumpers, 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 centre caps further differentiate it from the standard JCW Pack-equipped Cooper S.

The special edition carries forward the red and grey stripe theme from the bonnet onto the sides, complemented by ‘GP Inspired’ graphics. A ‘1 of 30’ badge on the C-pillar highlights its limited production run. Exterior updates also include 18-inch JCW alloy wheels with red centre caps, a roof-mounted spoiler, side winglets and a revised rear diffuser. The model further gets customisable daytime running lamps and LED tail-lamps with dedicated welcome and goodbye lighting patterns.On the inside, the cabin draws several features from the JCW Pack version. The dashboard gets a black finish with red accents, while the JCW steering wheel adds a sportier touch. Recycled knitted fabric has been used on the dashboard and door panels. The JCW sport seats are finished in Vescin Black upholstery with red contrast stitching, while ‘GP Inspired’ branding is visible on the door sills. The floor mats also feature ‘1 of 30’ badging to reinforce the edition’s exclusivity.
