THE ALL-ROUND OVER-ACHIEVER
If there ever was a MINI that had to be ahead all the time. It is the MINI Cooper S. Partly because it likes the attention, but mostly because it is designed to perfom. Thanks to its turbocharged 1.6-litre 16-valve Prince engine. It delivers upto 184bhp for and exhilarating fun. Plus, playing catch up is effortless as this baby goes from 0-100 in just 7.2 seconds. Wait, that's not right. You never have to play catch up in a MINI Cooper S.
The MINI Cooper S has been updated in Malaysia with a new N14B16 engine that produces 184 horsepower at 5,500rpm, which is up about 9 horsepower from the original horsepower rating of 175 when the Cooper S was first unveiled and then later launched in Malaysia. Torque is still the same 240Nm with a short 20Nm overboost to 260Nm whenever necessary.
The engine update is more than just 9 extra horses – the engine also now gains Valvetronic. The pre-update engine only had direct injection for the turbocharged model and features Valvetronic only on the normally aspirated version. CO2 emissions have also dropped and fuel consumption should be a little better during mixed mode driving.
