After numerous spy shots that circulated around the internet, Mini confirmed the existence of a special version of the John Cooper Works GP hot hatchback, which debuted earlier this month at the New York Auto Show.. However, the Mini cannot tell the whole truth..
Our spy photographers have once again tracked down a slightly camouflaged John Cooper Works (JCW) prototype road test in Germany.
The novelty differs from the regular version by a modified front bumper with a lower spoiler, a deep-set rear diffuser with two exhaust pipes and large four-spoke discs. All that is missing is a wing on the hatchback roof, but do not forget that the photo shows a test prototype, not a production model..
If this test model is indeed a JCW GP Coupe, then it will almost certainly get the same uprated 1.6-liter twin-scroll turbocharged engine. Its power will be about 230 horsepower, which is 20 «horses» more than the usual JCW modification..
