Jakarta. MINI Indonesia today introduced 2 of the

Works GP, a race-track ready 2-seater with a distinct design
under-pinned by motorsport features and technology. The second model
is an everyday sports car in the form of the MINI John Cooper Works
that is equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission.
“By introducing the latest MINI John Cooper Works models in
Indonesia, our objective is to continue to make the hearts of MINI
enthusiasts beat faster with their combination of power and extreme
go-kart feeling in an emotional and authentic design” said Mr. Ramesh
Divyanathan, President Director BMW Group Indonesia. “With these

only 4 of which will be brought into Indonesia and MINI John Cooper
Works with automatic transmission, we’re confident that they will set

Feel the adrenaline of a racing experience combines with
distinctive style
MINI John Cooper Works models combine their standout sporting
potential with distinctive looks and special equipment features, which
accentuate the feeling of race competition adrenaline both inside the
car and out. Standard specifications allows the driver to tweak the
car’s accelerator responses and steering characteristics with Sport
Button, powerful brakes, the DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) system
including DTC (Dynamic Traction Control) and EDLC (Electronic
Differential Lock Control) for the driven axle, plus 17-inch
light-alloy wheels and run flat tires. The likewise standard John
Cooper Works aerodynamic kit optimizes both the airflow over and
around the cars, and their visual impact. The John Cooper name has
embodied the successful relationship between the British small car and
sporting competition for several decades. It was back in the 1960s
that the legendary sports car designer hit upon the idea of injecting
a fresh dose of enjoyment into everyday road driving, and extra-potent
variants of the classic MINI soon carried his name.
The new MINI John Cooper Works GP: built for racers, not drivers
The new MINI John Cooper Works GP comes with a built-in adrenaline
rush, every time you take the wheel. The sportiest member of the MINI
John Cooper Works family never fails to deliver an uncompromising dose
of extreme driving enjoyment. Complete with the ultimate racing
interior, Recaro sport seats provide a secure hold, even in extreme
driving situations, while the special leather steering wheel means you
can always keep a grip on the excitement. In GP mode, the vehicle’s
control systems provide maximum freedom when driving at the limit, and
for powering out of tight corners, the electronic limited slip
differential improves traction with no end. On top of that, this
unique racing machine is equipped with rear cross-braces in place of
the rear seats – making the MINI John Cooper Works GP as one of the
lightest sports cars in its class.
Its adjustable coilover suspension, high-performance brakes,
comprehensive aerodynamic design, and breathtaking twin-scroll
turbocharged engine combine to offer peerless driving dynamics. So let
it loose precisely where it belongs –the racetrack. The technical
highlight of the new model is certainly the manually adjustable
coilover suspension, which ensures the front-wheel-drive racer can be
adapted to any conditions. The negative camber also increased at the
front axle, enabling the full potential of the sport tyres to be put
to good use. This coupled with a rear diffusor, fully panelled
underbody, and roof spoiler with a wing in carbon that improve down
force at the rear by 90 percent. Together, these aerodynamic features
offer maximum cornering speeds, and ensure the two-seater delivers
precise steering in every situation.
Only four of 2,000 units of
MINI John Cooper Works GP, the fastest and extremely sporty
MINI ever built now available for customers in Indonesia
With a limited edition of just 2,000 units worldwide, the MINI John
Cooper Works GP is the fastest and most extreme sporty production
model ever built under the nameplate of this British premium brand.
Extensively equipped with John Cooper Works motor sport technology,
this two-seater boasts outstanding performance to match its
distinctive looks.
The extensively modified 1.6-litre four-cylinder turbo engine is
capable of developing 218 hp of output and 260 Nm of torque (280 Nm
with over boost). the MINI John Cooper Works GP provides outstanding
driving enjoyment, thanks to the six-speed manual transmission, the
extra-powerful sports brake system and model-specific alloy wheels
with sports tires that ensure superb handling. As such it has already
been clocked at 8.23 minutes on the legendary Nürburgring race track
in Germany.
The MINI John Cooper Works with six-speed automatic
transmission: standout sporting potential for everyday use
The MINI John Cooper Works with six speed automatic transmission uses
a twin-scroll turbocharger, petrol direct injection and variable valve
control based on the BMW Group’s VALVETRONIC system. This
throttle-free load control technology optimizes both the
responsiveness of the engine and its efficiency; lightning-fast
reactions to the driver’s requests for power go hand-in-hand with a
restrained fuel consumption.
The technical make-up of the 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine – which
sports a John Cooper Works logo on its cover – has a direct link to
the development of race-trim engines and honed exclusively for the
John Cooper Works models. Its cylinder block and bearing mounts made
from aluminum and join forces with reinforced pistons, a particularly
high-strength cylinder head and low-weight crankshafts. The exhaust
valves are sodium-filled to help provide the extra cooling required by
a turbocharged engine, and the intake camshaft features infinite phase adjustment.
The engine produces its maximum output of 211 hp at 6,000 rpm, while
peak torque of 260 Newton metres is on tap between 1,750 and 5,500
rpm. The over boost function allows this figure to be raised to 280
Newton meters for a short time between 2,000 and 5,100 rpm.
The MINI John Cooper Works now comes standard with a six-speed
automatic gearbox with Steptronic function. The automatic transmission
with Steptronic also allows the driver to change gears manually using
either the selector lever or the shift paddles on the steering wheel.
An outstanding baseline concept and a constant flow of innovations
provide the basis for sustained success in race competition and
beyond. Indeed, a rigorously applied strategy of further development
has also given the road-spec John Cooper Works models a decisive edge
in their respective segments.
The MINI John Cooper Works GP limited edition is introduced at Rp.
869,000,000,- off the road and MINI John Cooper Works with six-speed
automatic transmission is introduced at Rp. 749,000,000 ,- off the
