The One With The 2013 MINI John Cooper Works GP! - World's Fastest Car Show Ep. 3.8

Developed in the wind tunnel and tested on the... go-kart track. It's the fastest MINI ever built, but rather than speed, Justin chooses to put its "Go-Kart like" handling to the test. As if the tight corners and short straights weren't a challenge enough, Justin must fend off rising karting star, Gino Alfonso-Macauley for the victory. Can 211hp and a turbo-charged engine overcome the home field advantage given to the much better suited kart? Of course not, but it's fun to watch Justin try.

Only thing is this mini will never really depreciate over time because there is only 2000 to be produced. So in 10 to 15 years time there will probably be less than half that so it will become quite rare.So buying it would also be a good investment if its looked after that is.

You know that he did that on purpose. Justin is not just a great presenter but also a proper racedriver. This dude won FIA GT championship. He is more of a driver than all commenters here put together on their best days. Just putting it in perspective.

You get a limited edition car for your money is what you get. And I love them

I've come to love the backfiring of my R53 Cooper S :) Absolutely fantastic ride.

A sports car should handle well be able to get a decent time on the autocross and feel balanced and FUN on a winding road. I have not even gone 150mph during track days and time trails at VIR, Summit Point, Laguna Seca, Sears Point, Thunderhill, Buttonwillow, Willow Springs or Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch. Plus any car that smashes the Exige, Sti and Evo lap times at Nürburgring is a sports car in my book.

Yes I am a girl and I drive a 09 JCW mini, and thankfully I found it for a steal but the price of these cars are on the higher end because it is a BMW and every part is quality. Sometimes it can get difficult to find parts on a JCW (which can be a hassle because I refuse to buy from the dealer), and on the "mini is a girly car" argument. My bf loves driving my car just as much as I do and I am itching to find a track to drive it on!

I'm crazy for Mini Cooper...I love this car.

[sdlausen]

Absolutely PERFECT response to this car. Well done my friend.

[DiedrichKnickerbocker]

I am really starting to like World's Fastest Car Show. Great Job.

[MercsDude]

If I would ever drive a Mini, this would be the one.

[torod]

They could have charged $80k for this and still sold 10 times more than the 500 they're bringing in. It's a limited edition for true enthusiasts. You're completely missing the point, the price is irrelevant. If you just want a Mini, get the Cooper S.

[stevedeliopoulos]

I loved the feel of driving my mini s.I moved to a 370z and I still miss how the mini could handle in your hands and gear shift.

[Rottensteam]

A 300 hp awd rally edition would be so awesome!

[terranceparker]

JB you pick a nice variety of fun to drive cars. Do you that you should mention the competitors of the cars that you drive so that we can have some perspective?

[GeneralNgo]

Having driven both (though it was a Mini Cooper S) the Camaro is more fun in the mountains BUT a Mini is A LOT more fun late night in an abandoned parking lot :)

[koolpep]

Man, the Mini lost a race against a Kart on a Kart track. (!!!) That was the whole point. It held up astonishingly well for that matter.

[TheLeGeNdPvE]

I like the last model mini John cooper works I do like this one but they are way bigger....the old one was awesome screaming lil engine handled like a true sports car very fun

[blackcobaltss]

Loved the video cant wait to see more of them!

[GRSEMETROMALL]

This. the fiat has a great sound, but way to slow; also need another gear. Fiat is a street fighter, city street fighter. Roads get a little faster and 160hp won't cut it.

MINIs haven't been supercharged since 2006.
