mini john cooper worksAt the core of both the Cooper Works cars is the Twin Scroll turbocharged, 1.6-liter four cylinder engine that pumps out 207 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque, in addition to an overboost function that can push torque to 207 lb-ft for short bursts. The unit, based on the engine that will power the cars participating in the MINI Challenge 2008, is good for 0-62 runs of 6.5 seconds in the Cooper and a couple of ticks slower in the heavier Clubman, with top speed limited to roughly 148 mph. Mated to the engine is a modified six-speed manual that also has racing roots and has been optimized to handle the engine's increased torque.
Both cars are fitted with the S sport suspension as standard equipment, but are also available with a race-ready upgrade featuring firmer damper characteristics and stronger, larger stabilizers both front and rear, along with an entire suspension that's been lowered by 10 millimeters.
