Here is some information about the new MINI Cooper S engine for the petrol heads.

The performance figures alone for the new MINI Cooper S are enough to get your foot twitching. The engine delivers 192hp/141KW, up to 300 Nm torque with overboost, and 0-to-100-km/h acceleration of 6.8 seconds. The new 2.0-litre four cylinder unit incorporates TwinPower Turbo technology, innovative Valvetronic valve timing, and optimized turbocharger and double VANOS camshaft control, providing the ideal balance of power and control in every situation. It’s also particularly frugal with fuel: combined-cylinder fuel consumption for the MINI Copper S is just 5.8-5.7L per 100 km (CO2 emissions of 136-133 g/km)

A MINI FOR PEOPLE WHO THINK DIFFERENTLY. BY PEOPLE WHO THINK DIFFERENTLY.

The biggest new addition to the new MINI is hard to miss: the new-look MINI Centre Instrument is now more significant than ever. An LED ring runs round the edge, and offers your MINI an entirely new means of communicating with you. Just as between best friends, you’ll find you don’t need to speak to understand one another. And talking of good friends, MINI Connected allows you to share all the fun you have in your new MINI in real time, via Facebook, Twitter and foursquare. Before we hit the road though, let’s have a few words on and from Sir Alec Issigonis, the genius behind the MINI. And don’t worry – as you can see with his designs, he likes to keep things short.

TONIGHT EVERYTHING WILL BE DIFFERENT.

You’re cruising through the streets in your MINI. The windows are down, the LED ring on the MINI Centre Instrument glows intently, and you hear nothing but the sound of the air rushing by. And you decide it’s time to change all that. You shut the windows, drop down a gear, and hit the gas. The MINI TwinPower Turbo engine greedily sucks up the cool night air, transforming it into pure acceleration that thrusts you back into your seat. And you think to yourself: I want more.

Yes, at long last the new MINI is here and ready to create fun that exceeds even the wildest of imaginations.
