For the speed and racing enthusiasts in India, Mini is bringing a GP Inspired Edition of the Cooper S to India. Called the Mini Cooper S GP Inspired Edition, the car will be a limited edition, with a production run of just 30 units for the Indian market. Bookings for the sportier and race-inspired Cooper S GP Inspired Edition are underway for a token amount of Rs 1.5 lakh, while deliveries are set to begin from May, 2026. The upcoming Mini car is inspired by the BMW's brand rich motorsport legacy and the track-focused John Cooper Works GP, and is based on a sportier on the Mini Cooper S JCW Pack. It differentiates itself a host of exclusive design elements both inside and out. That said, the core performance DNA of the Cooper S remains untouched.
