I don’t really take notice of MINI now, though I still have friends that drive them – I do see the next GP is now up for pre-order at $44,900 in USA (a lot more expensive than the original GP, but not so much higher than the second generation). I see also that it’s planned to make 3,000 rather than the previous 2,000; so they won’t be so unique this time …

The huge rear spoiler and huge 300hp engine make me wonder if this is a road car any more, or just a track car … for more see MINI USA.
