22 JULY 2011

Jakarta. For the first time MINI lineup is displayed at Indonesia at the 19th Indonesian Internatinal Motor Show (IIMS) 2011 at Hall B JI Expo kemayoran from July 22 to 31, 2011. 180 sqm space has been designed for the public to enjoy a first-hand experience of the brand. MINI will highlight 3 models – the MINI Cooper S, MINI Cooper S Convertible and the MINI John Cooper Works.

The MINI product lineup is as follows :

The MINI Cooper S.

The new MINI Cooper S offers a more intense and thrilling experience of performance than ever before. As the more powerful of the new models, the MINI Cooper S comes with a 1.6-litre four-cylinder delivering no less than 128 kW/175 hp at 5,500 rpm with the help of a twin-scroll turbocharger and direct gasoline injection. In the range between 1,600 and 5,000 rpm, this unique power unit develops maximum torque of no less than 240 Newton-metres or 177 lb-ft, further increased briefly by the Overboost function to 260 Newton-metres or 192 lb-ft whenever necessary.

The twin-scroll turbocharger is particularly effective in boosting power and performance on the MINI Cooper S. The ducts of two cylinders at a time are separated from one another in the exhaust manifold and turbocharger, serving to reduce exhaust gas counterpressure at low engine speeds in order to capitalise on the dynamic effect of the pulsating gas columns in the manifold. This effect enhances turbocharger response and ensures a particularly spontaneous build-up of engine power.

As a result, the MINI Cooper S is virtually free of the “turbo gap” when accelerating so typical of a conventional turbocharged engine. Acceleration to 100 km/h comes in just 7.4 seconds, engine flexibility and response is truly impressive also at high speeds, and the top speed of the car is an equally impressive 222 km/h or 138 mph.

The turbocharged four-cylinder featured in the MINI Cooper S benefits from the extra power of direct fuel injection applying the common-rail principle. The stainless-steel common rail linking all cylinders is filled with fuel by a high-pressure pump at the rear end of the intake camshaft. Injection valves positioned at the side of the cylinder head then deliver fuel within fractions of a second and in exact dosage from the common rail directly to the combustion chamber. 

With this combination of a twin-scroll turbocharger and direct fuel injection, the new MINI Cooper S offers remarkable performance in several respects: Specific output of the engine is approximately 110 hp per litre and fuel consumption in the EU test cycle is 6.4 litres/100 kilometres (equal to 44.1 mpg imp), with a CO2 rating of 153 grams per kilometre.

The MINI John Cooper Works.

A big name, a long tradition, outstanding performance, figures and an incomparable driving experience: the MINI John Cooper Works arouses motor racing passion which goes beyond the race track. The heart beating under the bonnet of each of the two new extreme sports cars is that of a racer. The 1.6 litre 4-cylinder engine with Twin Scroll turbocharger and petrol direct injection delivers 155 kW/211 bhp and develops its maximum torque of 260 Newton-metres between 1,850 and 5,700 rpm – by means of overboost the torque can actually be increased to 280 Nm. The power unit is based on the engine of the John Cooper Works CHALLENGE. It accelerates the MINI John Cooper Works in 6.5 seconds from 0–100 km/h.

It is not only the engines of the MINI John Cooper Works and the MINI John Cooper Works Clubman that provide genuine racing feeling. Both models are also fitted with extensive motor racing technology as standard: exclusive light alloy rims with especially light and extremely high-performance brakes, a new exhaust system and the modified 6-speed manual transmission.
