“MINI’s racing heritage is more than history; it is the foundation of everything that makes MINI special today. The 1965 Monte Carlo Rally victory and the record-breaking MINI GP represent pinnacle moments that proved agility, innovation and pure driving excitement could triumph over convention,” said Benjamin Nagel
He added, “These special editions are our way of honouring that legacy while delivering it to customers who want their MINI to tell a story. Whether through the electric power of the MINI 1965 Victory Edition or the track-bred intensity of the MINI John Cooper Works GP Inspired Edition, we are offering something truly distinctive for MINIacs who live and breathe motorsport passion.”
Special Edition Models
The MINI 1965 Victory Edition pays tribute to the 1965 Monte Carlo Rally victory by Timo Mäkinen. Offered exclusively as the All-Electric MINI John Cooper Works, it features a Chilli Red exterior with white racing accents and the iconic number “52”. The model delivers 190 kW (258 hp) and 350 Nm of torque, combining heritage-inspired design with an all-electric powertrain.
Based on the MINI John Cooper Works, the GP Inspired Edition draws from the 2021 MINI GP, the fastest road-going MINI produced. It features a Racing Grey metallic finish, JCW Aero Kit, and GP-inspired design elements. Powered by a 2.0-litre TwinPower Turbo engine, it produces 170 kW (231 hp) and 380 Nm of torque.
