Mini Cooper S GP Inspired Edition Launched For India – Just 30 Units Available

The iconic British hatchback brand Mini has officially opened bookings for the exclusive Mini Cooper S GP Inspired Edition in India. Limited to just 30 units nationwide, this collector-focused edition is designed for enthusiasts who want a more unique and motorsport-inspired version of the standard Cooper S.

Mini Cooper S GP Inspired Edition

Based on the Mini Cooper S equipped with the John Cooper Works (JCW) Pack, the GP Inspired Edition pays tribute to Mini's rich racing heritage. Unlike typical cosmetic special editions, this model has been designed reflect the brand's performance-oriented DNA while retaining the everyday usability.

One of the biggest highlights of this edition is its exclusive Legend Grey exterior shade, a colour that will remain unique to this variant in the Indian market. The stealthy finish is complemented by several JCW-inspired design elements, giving the hatchback a far more aggressive and sporty.

Powertrain

Under the hood, the Mini Cooper S GP Inspired Edition continues with BMW Group's proven 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine. This B48 motor produces 201 bhp and 300 Nm of torque, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with FWD. Mini claims a 0-100 kmph sprint time of approximately 6.6 seconds, making it one of the more engaging premium hatchbacks currently on sale in India.

The Cooper S has always been appreciated for its sharp handling, compact dimensions, and go-kart-like driving dynamics. The GP Inspired Edition further enhances that appeal by adding exclusivity and a stronger emotional connect for enthusiasts.

Mini currently operates through 12 dealerships across key Indian cities including Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Kochi, Kolkata, Jaipur, and Jodhpur. Service and after-sales support are backed by BMW Group India's wider network spread across 36 cities.

Pricing and Launch

With only 30 units allocated for the Indian market, the Mini Cooper S GP Inspired Edition is expected to attract serious collectors and Mini enthusiasts alike. Deliveries of the limited-edition hatchback are scheduled to commence later this month.

While official pricing is yet to be announced, it is expected to command a premium over the standard Cooper S with the JCW Pack, which is currently priced at ₹61.50 lakh (ex-showroom).
