Radical changes, however, will be done under the bonnet: the old Chrysler-born two-valve units will be replaced by brand-new top-modern engine family developed in co-operation with PSA (Citroën, Peugeot). These will be four-valve petrol engines with Common-Rail direct injection, built in BMW's engine works in Hams Hall, UK. Three variants, all with 1.6 litres, are planned: a naturally-aspirated 115-bhp unit for the MINI One, plus two turbocharged variants with 143 bhp (Cooper) and 170 bhp (Cooper S). A MINI Works (with 230 bhp) will be following at a later date |

...Developing 215bhp and 245Nm of torque, the GP has only 8bhp more than the Cooper S Works, but the key to its appeal is not raw performance, but pure excitement. With reworked suspension, the way the hatchback turns into bends is simply sensational. So well sorted is the chassis that it can be steered using the throttle almost like a rear-wheel-drive sports car. Lift off the accelerator mid-corner and the nose tucks in tight, while get back on the power and balance is returned, along with a supercharged burst of acceleration... |

MINI's full of surprises
The waiting is over... MINI has thrown open the doors of the sensational new Cooper S and invited Auto Express to climb behind the wheel. By Oliver Marriage 2nd August 2006 Our exclusive test allowed us to put the newcomer through its paces before the wraps are taken off officially at the Paris Motor Show next month. And it also revealed that the car is packed with unexpected surprises! The hot news is the all-new turbocharged engine for the Cooper S. The 1.6-litre motor replaces the old supercharged unit, promising more power and greater refinement. However, the suspension has been completely overhauled, and there's more space inside as well. While MINI still refers to this car as a prototype, the minimal masking tape is fooling no one. It's clear the newcomer is the same width and height as the current car and, according to engineers, it's only 60mm longer overall. The extra 30mm at the front has led to an improved frontal crash structure, and it provides more cushioning in the event of a pedestrian impact. At the back, meanwhile, the additional length has boosted boot space by 10 litres, taking it to 160 litres. But look closely and you start to spot the changes which prove MINI's claim that every body panel is new. The shoulder line is more exaggerated, fatter exhaust pipes sit under the rear bumper and there are subtle blisters on the C-pillar to improve aerodynamics - down from 0.36Cd to 0.33Cd. Despite the body-coloured tape, in the flesh the nose appears more rounded, and while the clamshell bonnet remains, the headlights and black plastic wheelarches aren't integrated, helping to reduce repair costs. But the most notable feature is the bonnet scoop - it's just for show now that the supercharged unit has been replaced. So why the switch to turbo power? Well, advances in technology make it a much more efficient and economical solution, but it also gives better power delivery, according to drivetrain project manager Erich Sonntag. "With a turbo, we were able to get more consistent performance across the rev range and, with less inertia, better low-down response, too," he explained. As a result, the 1.6-litre four-cylinder unit (which will also appear in Peugeot's 207 by the end of the year) develops 175bhp and 240Nm of torque from only 1,600rpm, compared with the current 170bhp car's 220Nm at 4,000rpm. The new unit, built at Hams Hall in the Midlands, features direct-injection technology, while the Cooper variant's normally aspirated 1.6 will have BMW's proven Valvetronic system. But those who loved the whine of the supercharger need not despair. Tested at the famous Zandvoort race track in Holland, the new powerplant sounds superb - hard edged and enthusiastic - while the acceleration suggests the car should beat the existing Cooper S's 7.2-second time for the 0-60mph sprint. There's no word on fuel economy yet, but BMW estimates it will be about 12.5 per cent better. On first impressions, this is a cracking powerplant - tuneful, eager and linked to a brand new six-speed gearbox that has slicker and more precise shifts than before. If the prototype is anything to go by, keen drivers won't have much to worry about, either. Yet the MINI has grown up. It's only 10kg heavier, but the car is slightly less responsive and the electric power-steering doesn't provide quite such detailed feedback as the old set-up. That's not to say the MINI has lost its edge, though. It is well balanced, agile and, through challenging corners, extremely stable. A Sport button option sharpens throttle response and removes some of the steering assistance. The engineers have worked hard to improve ride comfort, which is just as well, as all new MINIs will have run-flat tyres as standard. On this evidence, the Cooper S will travel much more smoothly and be less nervous at speed. While turn-in isn't quite as sharp, we think the trade-off is justified. We have no complaints about the interior changes, either. Legroom is mod-est, yet adults can now fit more comfortably in the rear seats, and there is more space around the occupants in the front, too. What's more, the chairs provide greater support and the steering has gained reach adjustment. Foam cladding disguised most of the dash, but we could still see the detailing has changed substantially. An even bigger central speedo sits in a binnacle that incorporates the stereo controls, too. The toggle switches have been modified, and more have been added by the rear view mirror. Rather than use a conventional key, a disc-shaped fob plugs into the dash next to the start/stop button, and the seat adjustment levers have at last been redesigned. But we're not sure about the adoption of BMW-style one-touch indicators, and the build quality on this development car was hard to gauge. The MINI looks and feels like a thorough makeover, rather than an all-new model. Don't forget, though, that updating such an individual machine is no easy task. Nevertheless, on this evidence, MINI has another winner on its hands. The acid test is going to be when we get our hands on a production version in two months' time.

The name might be a tongue twister, but for big fun in a small package you really can't go wrong with a MINI. And this new John Cooper Works Cooper S is certain to be the best, the JCW alterations further enhancing an already entertaining package. The most obvious change to the spec sheet is the boost in power, the 1.6-litre turbocharged engine now boasting 211bhp. That increase has been achieved by modifications that MINI has tested on its MINI Challenge race cars, the enhancements including new specially polished pistons, a strengthened cylinder head, and a larger turbocharger.
The result of those changes is obviously a faster MINI, the JCW Cooper S managing the benchmark 0-62mph sprint in just 6.5 seconds. That performance isn't at the expense of economy either, the JCW Cooper S still managing a respectable 40.4mpg and 165g/km. Sharper suspension and bigger brakes should ensure that extra performance can be enjoyed to the maximum, while standard equipment has also grown in line with the JCW's range-topping status.
