Minis are supposed to be, well, mini, aren"t they? They"re not supposed to have Honda Civic Type R levels of power, nor roof spoilers that double up as emergency hurricane shelters. The 2020 Mini John Cooper Works GP promises both of those things. And truth be told, we can"t wait. Following news that this little firecracker will arrive next year, Mini has today confirmed a bit of news about the powertrain. The Mini JCW GP will feature a four-cylinder engine with Mini TwinPower Turbo Technology". Also known as A Turbo. This blown four-pot likely a 2.0-litre will produce in excess of 300bhp, which is knocking on the door of cars a class above. Looking at you, Type R. And, well, anything else with around 300bhp. This is a lot. It makes this JCW GP not only the most powerful, but also the fastest Mini ever built.
