56 years have passed, but the memory of the great triumph achieved by the Number 37 Mini has never faded.
In 1964, at the helm of the classic Mini Cooper S, Irish racer Patrick “Paddy” Hopkirk was the first to fly past the finish line at the prestigious the Rallye Monte Carlo. It was one of the most spectacular achievements in the history of international motor racing. A victory that defied all odds, and defined Mini as a fabled underdog in the world of motorsport.
Today, the spirit of this historic MINI moment lives on in the new MINI Paddy Hopkirk Edition. It features a look reminiscent of Hopkirk’s now-iconic Mini, as well as several signature accents designed to pay tribute to the racing legend. And with only 37 available for sale in Canada, anyone interested in getting behind the wheel will have to be as determined and quick minded as Hopkirk was all those years ago.
Just like Hopkirk’s legendary 1964 rally car, the special edition’s body colour is red. Chili Red, to be exact. The iconic colour scheme is complemented by a white contrasting roof (much like the original), rally-inspired fog lights, as well as a jet-black hood scoop and MINI badge – both of which add a bold, modern flair to the car’s classic character.
37. The starting number of Hopkirk’s Cooper S Mini. A number now synonymous with MINI’s motorsport past. On the special edition, it adorns the custom-designed side scuttles and rear pillar – acting as subtle yet powerful homage to our illustrious heritage.
A single bonnet stripe is a rare sight on a MINI. But if there’s anyone who deserves such an exclusive accent, it’s Paddy Hopkirk. Look a little closer and you’ll see his autograph, along with the “33EJB” number/letter combination, commemorating the number plate of the car that took him to victory.
Step inside the MINI Paddy Hopkirk Edition and you’ll discover a cockpit that clearly exudes motorsport. From the leather stitched JCW steering wheel and shift paddles, to the JCW Sport Seats and Carbon Black Dynamica upholstery, this MINI feels like it’s always ready for a rally. And that’s because it is.
The signature details aren’t just for the exterior. Inside, you’ll be delighted to discover the Hopkirk autograph emblazoned on the Piano Black high-gloss interior surface and in the LED entry sill. It’s the perfect final sign-off to the edition’s one-of-a-kind look.

It is the fastest, most powerful MINI 3 door ever produced, equipped with a 2.0 litre, 301 hp 4-cylinder turbocharged engine that delivers an outstanding 331 lb/ft of torque. And with a strictly limited release of just 3,000 individually numbered vehicles worldwide, it promises to be as exclusive as it is exhilarating – made for the few who are as passionate about pushing limits as we are.
CONTACT A RETAILERThis MINI is not for the faint of heart (or light of foot, for that matter). Its 301-HP Twin Power engine can achieve a top speed of 265 km/h and reach 100 km/h in a blistering 5.2 seconds. One punch of the accelerator will have you thinking you’re about to take off. Thankfully, the downforce exerted by its motorsport-inspired rear spoiler will keep you down to earth and close to the asphalt.
Power is nothing without control. Which is why we’ve integrated an 8-speed automatic transmission with limited slip differential to optimize acceleration and agility. Not to mention 3D-printed paddle shifters to ensure the seamless command of power is right where it belongs – at your fingertips
Feel your pupils dilate the second you set eyes on it. The MINI JCW GP is a physical phenomenon. An impressive blend of menacing beauty and aerodynamic strength. Powerful design elements like the flared wheel arches and bold rear spoiler boast a clear message that the GP is ready for the racetrack. But exclusive details like the Racing Grey paintwork and individualized number plates are sure to create a formidable presence in any setting.
We’ve reduced everything inside the MINI JCW GP to the minimum so you can drive to the maximum. Even the rear seats have been removed to reduce excess weight. And while its aesthetic is deliberately minimalist, you’ll still find subtle trimmings and details to excite your senses – from signature GP badging in the cockpit area, to premium Sport Seats designed to keep you firmly in place as you devour hairpins.
The fastest MINI ever won’t stay put for long. Contact a MINI Retailer today to get yours before they’re gone.
