Gravity Performance F56 Mini Track Car: 340HP of Proven Performance
The latest addition to the Gravity Performance fleet has arrived, and it’s already making an impression on track. Our F56 Mini Cooper S project has been built with one goal in mind: creating a fast, capable and reliable track car that showcases what can be achieved with carefully selected performance upgrades.
Producing an impressive 340HP thanks to a hybrid turbo setup and expert calibration from DervTech, this Mini has quickly become one of our most exciting development vehicles.

Building a 340HP F56 Mini Cooper S
The foundation of this project was the already capable F56 Mini Cooper S platform. To unlock its full potential, we focused on improving airflow, cooling and overall efficiency.
The build includes a selection of proven upgrades designed to support increased power levels and improve reliability:
- Gravity Performance Exhaust Downpipe
- Gravity Performance Catback Exhaust System
- MVT Intercooler
- Direnza Induction Kit
- Adjustable Drop Links
- Hybrid Turbocharger Setup
- Custom DervTech Calibration
Together, these components help maximise airflow through the engine, reduce intake temperatures and deliver strong, responsive power throughout the rev range.
For drivers considering similar modifications, our collection of Mini performance upgrades offer everything needed to support a wide range of tuning goals.
Track-Focused Chassis Upgrades
Power is only part of the equation when building a successful track car. To ensure the Mini could put its performance to the ground effectively, we invested heavily in the chassis and suspension package.
The car has been fitted with:
- Bilstein B16 Coilovers
- SW Motorsports Full Bolt-In Roll Cage
- Corbeau Bucket Seats
- Luke Harnesses
- Lightweight OZ Racing Wheels
These upgrades significantly improve handling, stability and driver confidence, creating a focused track-day package capable of performing under demanding conditions.
The Bilstein suspension setup provides excellent control through corners, while the roll cage and seating package enhance both safety and driver feedback.
First Track Day at Oulton Park
Earlier this week, the Gravity Performance Mini completed its first track outing at Oulton Park.
The results exceeded expectations.
Throughout the day, the car felt fast, balanced and confidence-inspiring. The upgraded suspension and chassis components worked flawlessly, while the 340HP powertrain delivered strong performance lap after lap.
Most importantly, the day provided valuable data that will help guide future development and refinement of the project.
As with any serious track build, testing is a crucial part of the process, and this first outing confirmed that the package is already performing at a very high level.
Why Events Like JTSS Matter to the Performance Community
Grassroots motorsport remains one of the best ways to showcase real-world performance parts and driver skill. Events like the Javelin Trackdays Sprint Series give enthusiasts the opportunity to compete in a welcoming environment while testing their builds under demanding track conditions.
For us at Gravity Performance, supporting these events is about more than sponsorship. It’s about staying connected to the enthusiast community, supporting drivers and continuing to develop products that perform both on the road and on track.
The paddock atmosphere at JTSS is one of the reasons the championship continues to grow year after year, with competitors supporting each other while still pushing for faster times and stronger results.
What's Next for the Gravity Performance Mini?
Although the Mini has successfully completed its first track day, this project is only just getting started.
Over the coming months, we’ll continue testing new products, refining the setup and gathering performance data across multiple track events. The goal is to create an even faster, more capable package while developing performance parts that benefit Mini enthusiasts throughout the UK and beyond.
We’ll also be sharing track reports, product updates and future modifications across our social channels and website.
