The new MINI goes on sale later this year, to be followed in early 2007 by the European debut of the new MINI One, powered by a 95 hp 1.4-liter engine.
The typical MINI characteristics of short body overhangs front and rear, the famous wheel-at-each-corner stance and the high shoulder line rising towards the rear have all been retained, as well as the hexagonal radiator grille and the large, round headlights.
MINI Cooper S: twin-scroll turbocharger and direct fuel injection displacing 1.6-litres, the four-cylinder turbocharged power unit of the MINI Cooper S now develops an impressive 175 hp, up 5hp on the outgoing supercharged engine.

 2004 Mini Cooper Review, Prices, Photos: New Car Test Drive
The Mini Cooper S is even more fun with its higher levels of performance, but you're hardly settling if you buy the base model.
The Mini Cooper ($16,449) comes with a high level of equipment, including air conditioning, CD stereo with six speakers, power windows with auto-down, power locks, remote keyless entry, and a rear wiper all standard.
The Mini Cooper S MC40 ($26,500) limited-edition model is mechanically identical to the Mini Cooper, but features special paint and interior trim, racing decals, driving lights, and other features all designed to approximate the No. 37 rally car as closely as possible.

 Silver DAI Widebody MINI Cooper
Instead, MINI was forced to develop a rather cool marketing campaign for its cute little cars--a campaign which, I dare say, almost makes me want to head out to a dealership and pick up a Cooper S for myself.
The original MINI has been around for longer than many of us have been alive, but as far as the majority of America goes, the MINI name belongs to a tiny hatchback from the 1969 movie The Italian Job--a car you can't easily buy in the states.
Mini Mania was used for its intake, header, and, most notably, its supercharger pulley upgrade, while a Jim Conforti ECU upgrade milks the motor for whatever other power was hidden beneath all the Moss MINI engine dress-up parts.

MINI will be unveiling a new addition to its Convertible range at the 2007 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), when it presents the Sidewalk model for the first time on January 6 in Detroit.
MINI Convertibles have always combined great handling characteristics with the thrill of open-top motoring, but when the Sidewalk hits MINI dealers from April 2007, MINI fans will have the opportunity to get their hands on a fresh model boasting a raft of luxurious design enhancements.
And that the MINI Cooper delivers this miserly fuel economy with no effect on its performance and driving capabilities is an added advantage.

 Driving the Original Mini Cooper
John Cooper was an independent racing car manufacturer and team owner who overcame incredible odds to win the Formula 1 Constructors World Championship in 1959 and 1960 with rear-engined cars against formidable opponents like Ferrari, Maserati, and BRM.
Cooper developed a sporting version of Sir Alec's groundbreaking, front-wheel-drive car, loaned it his name, and saw the Mini Cooper win the World Rally Championship three times in the 1960s, among numerous competition successes.
Our drive on the city streets surrounding John Cooper Works in West Sussex, England, was enough to confirm that the steering feel, chuckability, and overall demeanor of the old Mini clearly portend the new car's: BMW did a great job of transferring the Mini DNA into a modern platform.

 Mini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mini was arguably the star of the 1969 film The Italian Job, which features a car chase in which a gang of thieves drive three Minis down staircases, through storm drains, over buildings and finally into the back of a moving bus.
In 1971 the Mini Cooper design was licensed in Italy by Innocenti and in 1973 to Spain by Authi (Automoviles de Turismo Hispano-Ingleses), which began to produce the Innocenti Mini Cooper 1300 and the Authi Mini Cooper 1300, respectively.
From 1992 Coopers were fitted with a fuel-injected version of the 1275 cc engine, and in 1997 a multi-point fuel injected engine was introduced, along with a front-mounted radiator and various safety improvements.

 2007 Mini Cooper and Cooper S- Top Speed
The new MINI is entering the market in the guise of the MINI Cooper (88 kW/120 hp) and MINI Cooper S (128 kW/175 hp), with the MINI One “basic” version following somewhat later.
The MINI Cooper features a normal-aspiration power unit developing maximum output of 88 kW/120 hp at 6,000 rpm and peak torque of 160 Nm/118 lb-ft at 4,250 rpm.
The revised body design of the new MINI not only considers the even stricter safety standards to be observed in future, but also – with the car’s dimensions increasing only slightly, for example with exterior length up by approximately 60 millimetres or 2.76´´ – accentuates the proportions and design features so typical of the MINI.
