Technology for driving
comfort and safety
GP Mode
GP Mode is a race track-optimized mode of the
Dynamic Stability Control DSC that permits
greater longitudinal and lateral acceleration
when driving on dry road surfaces, but with
reduced driving stability. Only in the absolute
limit range does the system take stabilizing
action with brake interventions in the wheels.
It is activated and deactivated in analogous
fashion to the Dynamic Traction Control DTC,
refer to the Owner's Manual for the vehicle.

Coil-over suspension
Your MINI John Cooper Works GP has a coil-over
suspension with a range of adjustment for vehi-
cle height.
The racing-oriented suspension design results in
reduced suitability for everyday use such as sen-
sitivity to lane grooves and increased accelera-
tion inputs.

wise, the vehicle height is not suitable for oper-
ation on public

The coil-over suspension has been optimally set
for your MINI by the manufacturer. This setting
