Offline  | The GP is a limited edition MINI though.  For that sort of money, you can buy much better and more practical cars. I'm interested to see how popular this new version is - I think it will be a test to see whether the MINI bubble has finally burst.   |

Offline | A very interesting read there Paul, thanks! I reckon I might not be the only one who is thinking that after adding the cost of fitting the JCW Aero kit and tuning kit to their current R56 MCS, it might work out cheaper to just order a new JCW model. Do you know what seats are to be fitted in the new model? The wheels look great!  |

Offline | Figures look great, but what dreadful photoshopped pics... However you get air-con & Hi Fi upgrade as std at least. So this may be a better bet than an S with the stage 1 kit + JCW options. The aero kit is not mentioned as standard though, just the badges! Interesting that there is no "S" badging on the car, so truly a model in its own right. I'm tempted! |

Offline | I have to say it looks great but having had 2 Works cars in a row, I would love to have another! There is no way in the world I would spend that sort of money on another, knowing the problems people have had with the current MCS and it's noisy tick over. Until those issues are resolved I won't touch another Mini. BMW/MINI should really get their act together and admit there is a problem, otherwise people like me won't come back. It is really sad because I read an article the other day in the press saying the Mini was the 2nd most popular car that people bought again, after having owned one previously. |

Online | Very cool. Nice read. But ! Jalopnik are quoting 218 HP. Geneva Motor Show: 2008 John Cooper Works Mini Cooper S, Revealed Which is correct? EDIT: Motoring File is quoting 218 HP aswell MotoringFile » Archive » John Cooper Works Official Info Released Last edited by RedCooperNonChilli : Feb 24th, 2008 at 04:37 AM. |

Offline | Just looking around the web and noticed that you guys had a different HP number than what we received. I'm wondering if the US specific info was incorrect as 218 is a little higher than what I was told to expect - at least officially. I was told it would be officially lower than the GP but unofficially higher.  |

Offline | when are these likely to be available for order, and anyone know what colours are going to be available. Like the look of it though, about to order a new car and was planning a Cooper S which with the spec I wanted was going to come to £20k anyway, so this might be a better option. Any interior shots yet? Is the Hifi upgrade the same as available in the MCS or is it different. Was planning to add my own kit which might prove more difficult if theres an upgraded system in there. |

Offline | As suspected - I want one of those!! Might have to wait a while though, I think i'd have more chance insuring a Camel at the moment!  I thought it was expensive, then I considered the price of the Dooper, seemed reasonable after that  |
