MINI Coupe - A recipe for unbridled driving fun
17 Nov 2011|4,949 views
The launch took place at MINI Habitat, MINI’s showroom along Leng Kee Road, and saw the Habitat transformed into a larger than life action-packed comic book complete with alien invasions, laser gun-wielding special agents and pure wall-smashing fun.
“The launch couldn’t have been more apt in emphasizing the dexterity of the MINI Coupé which allows it to evade every possible reel danger hurled at it. In real life, the MINI Coupé enables its driver with a level of agility unmatched in the small car segment,” said Mr Neil Fiorentinos, Managing Director of BMW Group Asia.
The selection of engines, chassis set-up, weight distribution and aerodynamic properties of the MINI Coupé are all focused on delivering optimum performance. As a result, the new car radiates the brand’s hallmark go-kart feeling with a whole new depth of intensity and achieves the best performance statistics ever recorded by a volume-produced MINI.
“The car is further matched with a unique body and interior concept built at a premium level in terms of its design, quality, equipment and individualization. Not only does this two-seater breathe a new life into MINI’s successful racing history, it’s also a major boost to the super-compact sports car class,” added Mr Fiorentinos.
Exterior
The MINI Coupé is the brand’s first model to adopt a three-box body structure with a strikingly stepped rear end. Its distinctive lines are expressed in the customary MINI design language and combine with unmistakable styling features. All of which accurately showcases both the new model’s distinctive characteristics and its brand identity. Its flat silhouette and innovative “helmet roof” lend the MINI Coupé a sporty and individual allure. In addition to the integral roof spoiler, an active rear spoiler optimises airflow at higher speeds.
Interior
Inside the car, the two-seater concept is emphasised by features such as oval recesses in the roof liner. With its extremely high-opening tailgate and large
luggage area with through-loading facility, the MINI Coupé displays outstanding versatility in day-to-day driving, when transporting leisure items or sports gear, and on trips out with a lucky partner.
An extended selection of seat variants, door trim, trim strips and Colour Lines can be specified for the interior. Standard equipment of the MINI Coupé includes; automatic air conditioning, speed-sensitive power steering, electrically adjustable and folding exterior mirrors, Park Distance Control, Sports leather steering wheel with gear shift paddles, sports seats for driver and front passenger, Chrome Line Interior, Comfort access system, an audio system with MP3-compatible CD player and AUX IN connection, USB Audio Interface and Bluetooth hands free.
Under the Hood
The MINI Coupé can be ordered with the most powerful petrol engine in the brand’s arsenal. The range consists of the MINI Cooper Coupe, with 120bhp, to the MINI Cooper S Coupe, which has 184bhp, all the way to the high-performance MINI John Cooper Works Coupe that churns out an impressive 211bhp.
A level of chassis quality unmatched in the small car segment gives the new MINI model the handling flair you would expect from the brand. The precise Electric Power Steering, the standard-fitted DSC stability control system, powerful brakes and measures designed specifically to optimise torsional rigidity ensure the MINI Coupé driver can enjoy the ultimate in go-kart feeling.
