MINI Cooper S with John Cooper Works G_P Tuning Kit

[Nameless]

Is this like the Clubsport 911. Remove all electrics, sound deadening, air-con, thinner steel and windows, put stickers on instead of badges, and charge more!!!

[Paul]

Nothing yet, but this is still some time away.

Great point Tone – just lose 20kg's and any current MCS will kick it's @ss.
Hopefully they will add power as well as reducing weight!!

Hope to be able to share a little more on this very soon.

I want one, but doubt I'll be able to afford one!

Is that a hint at it being more like an M3 CSL, as in less weight for more money.

Rather than it being Clio Cup Style. Less spec for less money.

guess I better start saving!!

Oh, and from what I've heard this MINI will NOT be coming from Plant Oxford, it will be assembled at another location.

Hmmmmm.

[AidenL]

Hmmmmmm indeed................

[Paul]

The article says worldwide, as far as I know it will be in the USA.

What are your thoughts on this limited edition lightweight MCS?
Should we take bets to see if the mini will be available in the US?
All I know is that it sounds very exciting and I want one!
