MINI Adds Two Hot New Models To Its Middle East Line-Up

MINI
has added two new high-powered versions of the Cooper and the Clubman
series to its line-up in the Middle East. The new MINI John Cooper
Works and the MINI John Cooper Works Clubman performance models are
tuned more towards affluent young customers who would want a bit more
than the normal.

Components
derived from the MINI John Cooper Works CHALLENGE race car have been
added to provide for good performance and excellent handling. Maximum
output from the newly developed four-cylinder power unit with
twin-scroll turbocharger has been raised to 211bhp, with max. torque
of 280Nm.

In
line with its racing heritage, the MINI John Cooper Works makes use
of exclusive extra-light alloy wheels, extremely powerful brakes, a
new exhaust system and a modified six-speed manual gearbox that comes
straight from the MINI John Cooper
Works CHALLENGE race car. The
MINI John Cooper Works accelerates to 100 km/h in about 6.5 seconds,
and the MINI John Cooper Works Clubman completes the same exercise
0.3 seconds later. Both models have a top speed of 238 km/h.

Inside,
new features include an in-car
entertainment complete with a 6.5-inch TFT colour display with
optional navigation system. For the iPod generation, there is an AUX
port featured as standard to play music recorded on an MP3 player
through the audio system. A special interface for complete
integration of an Apple iPod is also available as an accessory, in
addition to a Bluetooth interface and USB port.
