Mini Cooper Grand Prix Power Steering Kit
A major driving upgrade that reduces steering effort, improves control at lower speeds and makes the Grand Prix Mini easier to enjoy in everyday use, produced to Cooper Car Company Grand Prix specification
The Grand Prix Performance & Tuning range defines how the Grand Prix Mini responds on the road. Mini Sport brings together mechanical upgrades that support sharper control, stronger driver engagement and everyday usability while respecting the character of the original Classic Mini.
This is performance with balance. Each element is selected to complement the wider Grand Prix specification, helping create a car that feels responsive, composed and genuinely enjoyable to drive.


Grand Prix performance is guided by intent rather than excess. The focus is not simply on higher output, but on improving the way the car accelerates, changes gear, steers and communicates with the driver.
The upgrades in this category are chosen to sit alongside the braking, suspension and chassis elements within the programme. That balanced approach helps separate Grand Prix Performance & Tuning from conventional standalone modification.
The heart of the Grand Prix driving experience. Engine specification and tuning options are focused on lively response, strong mid-range delivery and the unmistakable character of a properly prepared Mini.
Grand Prix engine configurations, tuning packages and performance hardware selected for the wider vehicle specification.
Narrative focus: lively, responsive performance with a strong link to the original spirit of the Grand Prix.

The result reflects the traditions of Cooper’s motorsport engineering, with parts chosen for purpose, driver involvement and compatibility within the wider Grand Prix specifications.








It is about completing a driving system where performance, control, and character are developed as one.
