The John Cooper Works story begins in 1946 in Surbiton, England. 23-year-old John Newton Cooper and his father open The Cooper Car Company – a small garage specializing in the maintenance of single-seat rally cars called “specials”. This humble beginning would ultimately lead to a profound impact on the design of the soon-to-launch Mini.
In 1959, Sir Alec Issigonis and Morris Motors introduce the Classic Mini to the world: a compact, affordable, fuel-efficient car with a wheels-pushed-out design and a transversely-mounted engine. The British public don’t know what to make of it. But others, like John Cooper, see great potential in this seemingly unassuming vehicle.
It’s the early 1960s when John Cooper – now renowned for pioneering the rear-engine race car – becomes intrigued by the Mini’s unconventional transverse engine. He sees the potential to transform the humble Mini into a feisty race car. And so, in 1961, with the addition of a racing-tuned engine and a more rigid chassis, the ‘Mini Cooper’ emerges from the Cooper Car Company garages, marking the birth of a legend.
It’s only a matter of time before John Cooper’s vision of a racing-class Mini comes to fruition. Beginning in 1964, the Mini Cooper and Cooper S go on to dominate the prestigious Monte Carlo Rally in ‘64, ‘65, and ‘67. John Cooper’s foresight had been bang on, and because of it, the Mini Cooper would soon become a fabled marque in its own right.
In 2001, the Classic ‘Mini’ is reborn in North America as ‘MINI’. Despite the change in name, John Cooper’s legacy is clearly revived in the design and engineering of the vehicle lineup, and especially in the high-performance John Cooper Works Tuning Kits that would become available in 2003.
Today, John Cooper’s legacy is reflected in the new lineup of MINI John Cooper Works vehicles. Featuring potent Twin Power Turbo engines capable of producing up to 232 hp, racing-class performance parts, and track-inspired accents, it’s clear that these powerhouses are a true testament to John Cooper’s passion for Motorsport.
Over 55 years of pushing the boundaries in Motorsport has led to this: The MINI John Cooper Works GP. Inspired by racing but conceived for the road, the concept vehicle takes things to an entirely new level – incorporating menacing lines and audacious accents that no others would even dare consider. This one’s for those bold enough to step outside the comfort zone and leave limits behind. This one’s for the few.
