I've been hearing for a while now that the GP will be a two-seater, but the marketing copy on mini.com doesn't mention this, as far as I could tell. Anyone know for sure?

Seems silly to delete a functional rear seat just to save 40 pounds, especially when they are likley to spec 20+lb wheels and runflats....

 

Anyone?

 

stupid question I'm sure, but what is GP ?

 

It's the special limited edition MCS that's going to have a Works package with about 217 hp and weigh 80 - some lbs less than stock. Go over to motoringfile.com to check it out.

 

JCW GP - to be released July 2006
Each dealer in US will get 5 cars
No Recaro seats in the US, no back seats

 

Hmm... Red, do you know whether the front seats will be something better than the standard "Sports" seats?

I have a question about terminology ... I know the full name of the limited edition is the "MINI Cooper S (with) John Cooper Works GP Kit" but it's bound to end up with a nickname.

Which way are folks leaning - MINI GP? or GP MINI? I've seen both terms used.
