2021 Mini John Cooper Works GP on the Track! | Tire Rack's Hot Lap | MotorTrend

[@lang1031]

That sets the front wheel drive record for Willow Springs

[@mrhades6420]

Waiting on someone to put the lap times on this track to compare

[@MIKE-kz7ld]

I swear this car is following me! I saw one in a dealership and now i can't stop thinking about buying one!

[@thejanusproject32]

As in the same exact model? The GP?

[@MIKE-kz7ld]

@@thejanusproject32 yup still thinking about it too. I got a dealership even offering to get me below msrp

[@TheBAMFster]

@@MIKE-kz7ld Since I picked mine up all I see now are other Mini JCWs. Best decision I ever made. 👌

[@MIKE-kz7ld]

@@TheBAMFster Yeah went to test drive one and it was pretty cool. Did you pay sticker by any chance? Ive already had a dealership offering to get me at 3k off mrsp

[@TheBAMFster]

@@MIKE-kz7ld Yeah, I tried to haggle them down but ended up paying full price. I think I showed how much I wanted it. 😂

[@joshwinters6518]

I really miss head 2 head and ignition. Those shows made my day. What ever happened to them:(

[@wonderwall135]

they ran out of money

[@NCHobbies]

I was just thinking the exact same thing! Those were MotorTrend's best days.

[@joshwinters6518]

N.C. Yeah when they went to the subscription thing I always payed for it for head to head ignition and best drivers car which is still on but isn’t the same. Now it’s just a bunch of shows I don’t even watch. We need to start a petition to bring back the originals

[@KDad514]

Considering Steve Millen lapped a 911 GT3 RS @ 1:33.14, I'd say that is a respectable lap time for sure.

[@dylansorenson2784]

The Mini JCW GP is an impressive package no doubt, but something must have been going on in the lap time you mentioned. Maybe it was raining for Steve Millen, or he was on a VERY off day. For reference, Randy Pobst ran a 1:27.22 in a 2015 GT3 RS.

[@davidprodger9694]

KDad514 Very good point

Could you add the record table to compare?

[@stu8506]

This review had the feeling of an ad.

[@lang1031]

Would have liked to see it driven around Laguna Seca to compare with the rest of the vehicles they have driven in this series.

[@Swishers21]

Wish they would of showed where that time slots into so we can see its companys

[@gseric4721]

As a Mini fan this is just awesome. Looks like a few tweaks could be done to the suspension to shed the time even further, haha

[@boots_n_coots]

I’ve got a 2011 JCW, the 208 HP version. I really like it but I sure wouldn’t want the suspension any stiffer for daily driving.

[@sergiosaunier]

Once you see the lipstick mouth, you cannot unsee it. Darn it Mr. Pobst!

[@Shawn_Magara]

Oh you aren't even kidding🤣😂

[@sergiosaunier]

Mr. No Spark Plugz I am not!

[@jeffpierce3436]

Hey guys!! We need comparison times with comparable cars (Civic type R) etc. Please!!

[@robertjusic9097]

2:18 great shot

[@mopedmarathon]

Saw one of these outside work. Thought it was an older one that someone had stuck extra bits on. Looks pretty aggressive for a mini.

[@aibada6594]

This might be an evidence that the track time should be taken with a grain of salt - Mini JCW GP is in the same league of Honda Civic Type R and Mustang 2.3T

[@NCHobbies]

What happened to this channel? Is there's no more Head2head and Ignition? The good old days with Carlos and Jason was the peak of this channel. If Randy leaves as well then this channel is no longer MotorTrend.

[@neilhaskell7264]

Great car with some personality all of its own, it just looks like ‘cheeky fun’ 😎

[@DanTheRazorRamone]

What’s the horse and torque including vehicle weight ?

[@g00dgh0st]

how could you not compare it with the civic type r?

[@Robo0595]

oh, for sure! And next you wanna watch a deadlift comp between Rich Froning and Brian Shaw?

[@bennyang8049]

@Randy, if you are buying with your own money, this mini gp or a civic type r?

[@ajw828]

Very impressive speed through the balcony for sure! Still a bit iffy on the slats but its a very neat car. Love the "heroic" adjective to describe the wing!

[@TheFlyingPLiner]

Those wheels look very phallic

[@sufyanshareef6302]

Please give us comparing time lapse with other cars like Honda civic type R or go far just to understand is it really better than these always the same or less

[@davidprodger9694]

Sufyan Shareef I agree with you I cannot find I comparison of these cars either we will keep trying , let me know if you find one

[@derekintrovert5619]

Great Review!🏁🏆😊

I love that colour anyone know what it is?

When you take stuff from the m235i gran coupe and stick it into a Mini Cooper.

[@eyesrightout]

Time of CTR and exactly as CLA AMG 45 👍

[@mk7sbtn]

Can I point out, the difference in time between the C8 and M8 was about the same as this and the M8

[@imranabbasi7871]

👍

[@DerekLowePianist]

Willow Springs again??

[@mefadon459]

It look real nice.

[@pigeonpoo1823]

This or a Honda CTR? Road and track?

[@noshari]

This is 1 second faster than the CTR, still would take the CTR just because of the manual trans

[@davidprodger9694]

newtona1 why are they not testing these two together ? Our Honda scared

[@radityaanugrahp]

Please get rid of that fender flare

[@luisj908]

Its for U.S car regulation...the wheels stick out and Mini didnt want to make to actual fender flares to cut costs

[@luisj908]

But what does it matter, pretty sure u won't buy one anyway

[@luispereira953]

@@luisj908 any link to that info ?

[@chucknorris1920]

I would consider a GP purchase but the styling is a bit much. I do agree that those fender flares are bunk.

[@MIKE-kz7ld]

@@chucknorris1920 eh i saw one in person at a dealership the flares dont actually look that ridiculous in person

[@Oplix]

You sound like Scotty Kilmer.

[@trewebster5884]

Does it really deserve that price tag tho🤔

[@davidprodger9694]

Tre Webster yes ! It is I have one so I should know entertaining and unique

[@ZappBranning]

The price is right IMO the GP3 will outrun many cars costing twice the price 👌

[@trewebster5884]

Cooper 1019 this car is definitely Camaro SS territory....so not even twice the price...this thing is way too expensive

[@ZappBranning]

Tre Webster It’s a bargain you will see in the future 👍

[@trewebster5884]

Cooper 1019 nah...don’t see it. It’s still getting smaked by a 30k Camaro SS. Not a bargain at all

[@erikd804]

I can't pick up my yuppie friends with no back seats lol

[@ZappBranning]

Who needs friends when you have a GP 👍

[@LivingLifeSlower]

Tell them to book a cab.

[@kermitthefrog3685]

The VW golf is a small car as well but it's 310 hp 2.0L turbo can be reliably tuned to 540HP . I'll take the VW . I wish you guys got the Cupra Leon in the states.

[@davidprodger9694]

Kermit the Frog all cars can be tuned but you need to take into consideration suspension breaks dampers balance weight ETC

Honda type r competition?

[@BigRedtheGinger]

I gotta look again, but I thought the Type R lapped this track in 1:19 or so.

[@BigRedtheGinger]

I was way off. Type R did it in 1:34 on stock tires, 1:32 on 18s.

[@davidprodger9694]

[@LivingLifeSlower]

And weights the same as a small moon.

[@lenwoodcruze3594]

Yeah Yeah it's fast but man is it over done with the styling! ..... I would love to see this car with everything accept the rims one color.....OR if it was just Murdered Out...that would be cool!

[@sixspeedcooper]

No manual transmission, what a joke. Mini is so out of touch, their cars are so big now and look like cheap knock-offs of what real minis used to be

[@ZappBranning]

Don’t be put off with the gearbox this thing is awesome and quicker than any manual box and as for the size of the car well if the new mini was the same size as the original then bmw wouldn’t sell many due to safety etc . The Gp is the best mini ever produced.

[@sixspeedcooper]

@@ZappBranning hard to believe that, of course the shifts are faster and for shear numbers this is the best gp but I’d rather have a 1st gen gp with the supercharger for overall enjoyment. What’s more, if this new gp is about numbers bmw should have done more, not sure this bests a civic type r in any comparison. Really not sure who their target market is with this one other than die hard fans of the newest new minis

[@NoahBB]

This or a BMW M2...LOL

[@kermitthefrog3685]

That's not even a question

[@davidprodger9694]

This car is great, but tbh I was hoping for another clio v6 thing.

[@martinmartin5904]

It looks like he’s never driven an fwd before : you take the curve tighter by aiming even inside and doing so I widen the radius of my curve by crushing the throttle : simple power drifting of the front .

[@Jodez23]

LOL 50k. Better options out there.

[@mexkdspEd44]

Let's be real. If you're paying msrp for any car you're getting robbed

[@sentrasersr20det]

My 2009 Mini Cooper S is nothing but trouble. After putting a bunch of money into it I have it parked because it overheats. 300hp is 10 years too late.
