Local pricing for the lightweight, track-focused MINI Cooper John Cooper Works GP has been announced, with the fastest factory MINI ever built to be priced from $56,900 - $6500 more than a "regular" Cooper Hatch JCW.

Based on the MINI Cooper Hatch, only 30 cars out of a global production run of 2000 will head to Australia.

Besides its rarity, the Cooper JCW GP's appeal is also bolstered by its extensive performance-oriented modifications.

Power from the JCW GP's 1.6 litre direct-injected and turbocharged engine is boosted to 160kW (5kW more than the cooking model JCW turbo four), thanks in large part to a lightweight crankshaft, sodium-filled exhaust valves, beefier pistons and a reinforced cylinder head.

Torque rises by a substantial 20Nm, topping out at 280Nm when the engine's overboost function is activated. The traction control system also features a "GP" mode, which enhances driving dynamics.
