2021 Mini John Cooper Works GP - POV Driving Impressions

I'd totally have one if Minis were reliable.

That 0302 is the production number

Did anyone notice the LED lights around the centre screen area replicate the tachometer reading?

I just traded in my 21 type r for this.....I Iove this car!!! If you are looking for a street legal go kart this is basically it. Loved type r but wasn't me, does not bring the same smile this did. I recommend if you can find one drive it you will smile and laugh for sure. It's like a fwd mi I hellcat

Sounds like it needs new shocks !

"Mini Coopers are money pits"- Scotty Kilmer.

Really wanted this car until I realized I’d be paying 45k for an Interior from 2010

This car seems obsessed with circles

ik a lot of comments but im in shock. this has to be the most undesirable Frankenstein abomination of a vehicle i have ever seen. this is a joy to watch its kind of hilarious. to each their own i guess lolol

ok ok im sorry but this has to be one of the ugliest cars on the market. That spoiler holly cow thats hideous

ugly inside and out. Oh My

This car is weird.

Your roads look bad, lovely car.

Devi aprire lo scarico e un tombino cosi

That’s a beautiful car 👍🏼😀

Bouncy!

How did you get a reverse camera on your GP ? i thought none of them have one, thx

For the record, it does have Apple Car Play.

I turned off the Active Sound Device (ASD) by setting it from very loud to hybrid. It's now just the true engine and exhaust noise. A huge difference.

I have no idea if Doug has scored a GP. I did this myself as a best guess 😅

Modern MINI’s have always had fast and responsive steering. It’s what contributes to that “go kart feel”. Dial back that steering response and feedback and you lose a lot of that character. BMW/MINI is really getting soft. Hopefully the GP’s steering can be corrected with more negative camber or upgraded control arms or something. Maybe even an electronic power steering “tune” too.

Like all previous GP’s it’s really built for MINI fanatics and no one else. It’s certainly not much of a value proposition but MINI knows that. I’m a huge fan of MINI’s, having owned a a Manic Motorsport tuned R56 S which I wish I never sold! Sounds like the newest GP is a tad numb which a MINI should never be. First gen R53 GP was the most “pure” modern MINI. Kinda downhill since.

The car has Apple Careplay as standard on your larger 8.8inch display :)

Sweet ride, its high on my list. I'll need to hurry up and win that lottery though, usually I don't buy anything less than 10 years old and I just don't think this will depreciate enough or even be easy to find in the classifieds. Great couple of videos on it, I also checked out one of the C8 so far, fun figuring out where you are driving since its local.
Hey and great talking to you! I'm the BMW guy with an old green Silverado at the Shell station in Plymouth after you spent the day at Waterford Hills.

it has 306 horse power, and the number on the side panel and the passenger side are the unique numbers of the car, I have 1948.

I won a Mini Cooper Business edition last year. Idea was to sell it, until I drove it. Mini's are crazy fun to drive. It a basic model but its so fast and sticky to the road.

when do you think the new mini will be released?

like the new display.

I thought he said, “I haven’t drove a car that twerks in years” 💀

New Hot Hatch king.:)

这么快就开上了

the active sound generator noise is wierd...

Sad to see that a limit edition car gets into hands that do not know that car. It has 306hp...

Surprised to see 5 lug wheels

No Pops an bangs ??? Try it in Sport 😉

Oh this is the car that the Italian guy rolled the same day he got it 😂😂. Awesome little machine.

Automatic is boo boo

Good in-depth and honest review . You only missed out telling the people how good the brakes are on this car look forward to track review

Manual parking brake, yet no manual trans. Mini is dumb.

🤟🏾👀❤🇬🇧

No manual? Lame

In the future can you do a 97-06 tj wrangler auto? Idk your lineup and what you have coming but maybe?😂

I wonder if the steering is GP specific because my 2020 Cooper is the most direct steering I’ve ever felt.

OMG I would be afraid I’m going to end up driving into a ditch.

I liked this car more at the end of the video than the beginning.

New King of the Crazy Factory Wings.
