"The MINI John Cooper Works GP completed a lap at the Nordschleife in just eight minutes, twenty-three seconds. That’s equivalent to an E46 M3 or R-32 Skyline, so this little guy is no slouch. There are 218 ponies under the hood, driven by a twin-scroll turbocharger, variable valve timing, and direct injection to get things going. Keeping the contact patch optimal is a coil-over suspension system that inverts the front shocks to increase longitudinal and lateral stiffness. There were only 2,000 of these models built and they were all sold in Europe so, for many, Forza games are the only shot they’ll have to experience this one-of-a-kind ride."—forzamotorsport.net[1]
The 2012 MINI John Cooper Works GP - abbreviated as "Mini Cooper '12" or "Mini JCW '12" - is a front-wheel drive hot hatch by MINI.
It appears in Forza Motorsport 5 as part of the Bondurant Car Pack and as standard in all subsequent main series titles, as well as in Forza Motorsport 6: Apex.
Synopsis[]
The GP is a track-day special of the John Cooper Works that comes with additional engine and chassis upgrades. It was only produced for the 2013 model year and destined for the European market.[2]
Performance[]
Upgraded[]
Upgraded with an AWD drivetrain, the Horizon Edition variant only requires 3.6 seconds from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) and has a lower front weight percentage than its stock counterpart, which is 55% instead of 61%. It performs above average in terms of handling due to possessing nimble driving characteristics and highly capable brakes that rival those from lightweight Extreme Track Toys cars.
However, as it is fitted with a stock 1.6L I4 - Turbo Rally swap, the Horizon Edition already tops out at 155 mph (250 km/h), making it a more useful choice for short tracks.
Variants[]
Horizon Edition[]
The Horizon Edition is an upgraded variant with a Skills boost and an A 800 upgrade preset. It is fitted with a 1.6L I4 - Turbo Rally engine swap, AWD drivetrain swap and a series of exterior upgrades.

- Victory Lapping - September 28, 2018 to October 5, 2018
- Happy Anniversary - September 22, 2017 to September 27, 2017
Forza Edition[]
The Forza Edition is a Tier 5 car featuring a 25% credits boost and an additional 25% credits boost for racing at Brands Hatch, as well as homologated performance to C 499. Visually, it is very similar to the Horizon Edition from Forza Horizon 3.
