(from AC Schnitzer
Release) "MINI Look" by AC Schnitzer
With innovative
developments, the Aachen-based tuning specialist creates driving
pleasure and the perfect MINI Look
With its new Convertible
(R57), MINI has now produced the next body variant of the cult car.
The
AC Schnitzer designers and engineers have already developed a range
of special accessories for the new MINI. In keeping with the history
of the MINI, the Aachen-based tuning specialists have concentrated
on developments in the field of performance upgrades, sports rear
silencer, sports suspension, alloy wheels, exterior components and
interior details.
Under the small bonnet
of the MINI Cooper S the 1.6 litre engine provides power of 175 HP.
The AC Schnitzer performance upgrade energizes the MINI Cooper S to
153 kW/208 HP. Under the same conditions, the uprated export version
of the Cooper S takes the standard power of 128 kW/175 HP to an
impressive 166 kW/226 HP. At the same time, the AC Schnitzer limited
slip differential in the MINI Cooper S and Special Model JCW (John
Cooper Works) guarantees maximum driving pleasure with excellent
ground adhesion.
The perfect driving
experience is complemented by the acoustic qualities of the AC
Schnitzer sports silencer in special steel with chromed Racing
tailpipe for the MINI Cooper S and JCW. The AC Schnitzer sports
exhaust perfectly adapts the complete exhaust system to the needs of
high performance and tuned engines.
An equally important
contribution to driving performance is provided by the renowned AC
Schnitzer suspension components, available in the form of suspension
spring kit and height-adjustable racing suspension. In conjunction
with an aluminium strut brace for the front, even more performance
can be extracted from the MINI One, Cooper or Cooper S.
To fill the wheelarches
of the new MINI, AC Schnitzer is also offering a choice of several
wheel and tyre combinations with Mi1 rims in 17" and Mi2 rims in
18".
Visually, the new series
MINI shows few differences from the current series. The designers of
AC Schnitzer have changed this with front spoilers and rear skirts
(for the MINI Cooper S), which not only enhance the looks of the
MINI but also offer aerodynamic advantages. Decal sets in white,
black or chrome/black put the finishing touches to the appearance of
all MINIs.
Characteristic of the
MINI, in the interior the central instruments are arranged between
driver and passenger. Characteristic of AC Schnitzer, sporting
elements are applied to the driver's workplace. So the Aachen
designers offer gear knobs, handbrake handle, pedals and foot rests
in aluminium, with velours floor mats.
