MINI of course, is synonymous with special editions. The 1499 in particular pays homage to the 1275 GT from 1969; a moniker that pointed towards a bigger engine.

The new 1499 GT then, is a classic three-door hatch. With 102hp on tap and a 0-62mph time of just 10.1 seconds courtesy of its lively twin-power turbo three-cylinder engine, it’s the perfect hatch for the more enthusiastic drivers among you.

And the more enthusiastic among you will appreciate the John Cooper Works Sport Pack exterior features, including 17” Track Spoke alloy wheels in black, tinted windows and white indicator lenses.

Sporty bumpers, spoilers, and distinctive 1499 GT name stripes along the doors add to the allure. Available in pepper white and midnight black colour schemes, the 1499 GT promises to be one of the classiest, most distinguished-looking MINIs to date.
