BMW unveils 2007 MINI
BMW officially took the wraps off its 2007 MINI Cooper and MINI Cooper S models today, and we've gathered all of the official info and high resolution imagery in one post for you. Featuring a completely new body design, revamped interior, and a brand-new engine in naturally-aspirated and turbo variants, the new MINI looks to build on the sales success of its predecessor, launched in 2001.
Although visually similar to the last model, every body panel on the new, larger MINI is different. Mechanically, the new model strives to retain the brand's go-kart handling while improving ride comfort. The new 1.6-liter engine with BMW's Valvetronic variable valve timing that develops 120 hp and 103 ft-lbs of torque has something for everyone, producing not only more power, but also improved fuel economy and reduced CO2 emissions. The turbocharged variant in the MINI Cooper S generates a more stout 175 hp and 177 ft-lbs. of torque, and both models will be available with a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters.
U.K. prices for the MINI Cooper start at £12,995, with the Cooper S starting at £15,995.
