You can learn a lot about a car (especially a car designed for the track) in ten hard laps on a well designed track.

Our time on the test track with the GP was brief in the grand scheme of things. Ten laps. But you can learn a lot about a car (especially a car designed for the track) in ten hard laps on a well designed track. If you haven ‘t read our full review of the car, certainly check it out.

MINI USA will be allotting one of the 500 US bound $39,950 GPs to each dealer in the US for March delivery. The rest however will go to customers on a first come first serve basis. MINI USA will set-up a toll-free reservations number in mid-November that will allow anyone to plunk down a deposits (likely around $1,000) and name their dealer where they want to take delivery.
Allocations outside the US will be roughly similar to the original 2006 GP.
