As a tribute to the John Cooper Works GP, Mini has launched an Inspired Edition at Rs. 46,90,000 (ex-showroom). Only 15 units of this limited edition variant will be offered for sale.

On the outside, the Inspired Edition gets an exclusive Racing Grey Metallic shade as well as silver roof, mirror caps and spoiler. The Mini comes with 18-inch alloys finished in dual tone, GP-badged hub caps and piano black headlights and rear light trims, door handles, fuel filler cap, front grille surround and front and rear Mini emblems.

On the inside, the John Cooper Works GP Inspired Edition gets leather wrapped steering with red stitching, 3D-printed paddle shifts with GP badging, stainless steel pedal caps and GP-badging on door sills.

The Mini John Cooper Works is powered by a 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine that produces 228 BHP and 320 Nm. It is paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox. Mini claims that the car can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 6.1 seconds. The driver can select between 3 drive modes - Mid, Sport and Green.

Standard safety features include front airbags, Brake Assist, 3-Point Seat Belts, Dynamic Stability Control, Crash Sensor, Anti-lock Braking System, Cornering Brake Control and Run-flat Indicator.

47 lacs ex showroom for a Mini? I hope they are smoking something really good!

About Rs. 30 Lakhs in the USA and UK. So Rs. 60 Lakhs in Bangalore On-road seems reasonable. It is a CBU so the taxes are bound to be high. If my calculations are right then Mini is importing the car at Rs. 20 Lakhs.
Cost of the car - 20,00,000/-
Import duty @140% - 27,00,000/-
Road tax @ 20% - 10,00,000/-
So it seems to be fair price. Also Mini is probably losing money on every car it sells here.

Here's the link to the brochure. Competitive prices if we consider eqvlt. JCW model and the costs of options besides high exchange rate for Euro/ GBP.

So, the cars costing less than 40,000 USD, attract 60% Customs and GST will be 48%. Fair price nevertheless.

The pricing is good, there are quite a few options that would easily add 4 lacs to a JCW.

Supremely dissaopinted, as i picked up a JCW only last month. Also looks like mini hiked the prices by about 60K across the portfolio.
