What Happened
Mini's 1998 GT special edition receives the brand's JCW chassis package, including uprated suspension and brakes, while retaining the standard 2027 Mini powertrain. The car keeps the 161-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine rather than the more powerful JCW setup.
The 1998 GT starts at $38,225, and reservations are open. Mini calls it the first of three Icon drop models, with two more editions planned for October.
Why this matters
The 1998 GT gives buyers upgraded chassis and stopping hardware without stepping up to a full John Cooper Works model. It also begins an Icon drop series that Mini says will add two more special editions in October.
