May 14 - 2012 Mini John Cooper Works GP The MINI John Cooper Works GP lapped the erstwhile Grand Prix course in 8 min. 23 sec. In so doing, the new model has put clear asphalt between itself and numerous sports cars from loftier perches – and beaten the lap time set by its predecessor, the MINI Cooper S with John Cooper Works GP Kit, by almost 19 seconds. The sportiest road-registered MINI ever made will go on sale later this year in a limited run of 2,000 cars.
