Numerous vehicles have worn the famous British Racing Green color over the years, of which many are related to the UK’s motorsport tradition. The Mini John Cooper Works (JCW) GP is the latest to be available in this shade, courtesy from Manhart, which is contrasted by the red decorative accents and stripes designed by JD Customs.
The tuner said that this is a bespoke
scheme, so it won’t be replicated on another JCW GP, but there are countless
other color combos available.
Other than the colorful looks, this Mini
sports the GP3 F350 kit presented a few months ago. It consists of shorter
springs, which lower the body by 20 mm at the front and 15 mm at the rear, or fully adjustable coilovers in three versions, 8.5×19-inch
wheels wrapped in 235/30 tires and a bump in power.
The turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder
engine has been tuned to put out 350 PS and 530 Nm, up from the standard car’s 306 PS and 450 Nm.
Mods include a replacement pipe for the particulate filter, an intercooler, a
Remus exhaust and an ECU remap.
Manhart hasn’t announced any performance
numbers, but the stock model needs 5.2 seconds to hit 100 km/h from a
standstill and tops out at 265 km/h.
