The 2020 MINI John Cooper Works GP will have a starting price of $44,900 USD and deliveries will begin in March 2020.

The car is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that is able to produce 302 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. It also has an eight-speed Steptronic transmission system.
