Mini shows Cooper Works GP goes for a smoke, cheats the wind

Mini shows Cooper Works GP goes for a smoke, cheats the wind

Mini wants you to know all about its latest, limited-to-2,000 John Cooper Works GP edition. After a stint at the 'Ring to set a time of 8:23, the two-seat-only Cooper has parked itself in the wind tunnel to demonstrate its various wind-cheating features like the engine shield and rear wing. The narrator informs us that that JCW GP has six percent less drag, 30 percent less front axle lift and 90 percent less rear axle lift – we'll assume that's compared to a standard Mini Cooper, since he doesn't say, but those are healthy numbers no matter what.
