Front brakes are comically big, with 14-inch discs clamped down by four-piston calipers. They sit behind 18-inch forged wheels wrapped with 235/35 Hankook rubber.Aerodynamics has obviously been a design concern—witness the bigger front lip spoiler and that massive double-element affair at the back.

There’s nothing holding the MINI John Cooper Works GP back. Custom dampers, stabilisers and springs have been finely tuned for next-level handling.
