GT5 Transcripts/MINI COOPER S '07

The second generation Mini, which inherited the concepts of the original, successfully gained many fans again all over the world. It was then brushed up in 2006 throughMiswritten as "thorough" in the game a full model change. At first glance it seems to keep all the initial concepts on both the inside and outside. But in actuality, the engine, suspension, and most of the components have been redesigned. In order to accommodate for new collision safety standards, the hood height has been raised by 20 mm, increasing body size, and new large diameter headlights have been adopted.
What changed most drastically is the powertrain. Replacing the SOHC inline-4 Chrysler engine is a new DOHC inline-4 cylinder engine developed in cooperation between BMW and Peugeot. The 1.6L unit for the Cooper S changed its supercharging system from a supercharger to a turbocharger, increasing maximum output and torque by 5 HP and 15.1 ft-lb to 173 HP and 177.2 ft-lb respectively. Generally speaking a supercharger is considered to be easier to use from low rpm's, but the new unit utilizes a twin scrolling turbine which also produces great response from low rpm's. While being easy to handle in the standard rpm ranges, it improves peak power. Also by adding a valve control mechanism based on BMW's valvetronic system, fuel efficiency has been greatly improved as well. Balancing comfort and sportiness without losing its design, this is a mini that is well suited for a new generation.
