Manufacturer Press Release
|
"Extraordinary",
"cheeky" and "fun", but equally "reliable"
and "supreme" are just some of the adjectives which can be
applied to the most emotional small car of recent years. For
AC Schnitzer, closely associated with the white-and-blue products for
decades, the logical consequence was to develop a special accessory
range for the Mini leaving nothing to be desired.
Thanks to the AC Schnitzer engineers, the standard engine which already
developed a substantial 120 kW / 163 HP using compressor technology, has
now been given a further boost in performance by optimising the
compressor ratios and simultaneously remapping the control unit program.
After the AC Schnitzer treatment, the 1.6 l power plant delivers a
powerful 142 kW / 193 HP at 7,000 rpm. Equipped in this way, the Mini
Cooper S takes just 7.0 seconds to sprint from 0 - 100 km/h and has a
top speed of 235 km/h.
To improve response behaviour, the performance upgrade is combined with
the AC Schnitzer special steel sports rear silencer with chromed racing
tailpipe.
Of course it's worth fitting the AC Schnitzer rear silencer even without
the performance upgrade. But here the customer faces a choice. Two
variants are available for the Mini One and the Mini Cooper: a twin-pipe
exhaust system with one oval tailpipe in right/left combination, or a
single oval tailpipe design. And for the Mini Cooper S there's a third,
exclusive version: a centrally positioned sports rear silencer in the
new AC Schnitzer Racing tailpipe design.
Whatever variant the customer chooses, he's guaranteed a throaty sound
and attractive integration of the rear silencer into the rear of the
Mini in all cases.
Last but not least there is for all Mini models (except Cooper S) a
chromed, oval tailpipe available which also sets an optical highlight.
The AC Schnitzer rear skirt not only integrates the silencer but also
makes the Mini models (except Mini One D) look much more powerful.
For the front there's also a complete skirt which, with its generously
dimensioned front grille and chrome frame, gives the Minis a new,
brighter face. But the aerodynamic conversion doesn't just provide the
finishing touch visually. Made from high quality PU-Rim, it ensures
better downforce and is easy to paint and fit.
The styling range for the exterior is completed with designer stripes
and the AC Schnitzer logos "Technology & Design" available
in white or black and for the Cooper S with a red "S".
The absolute eyecatcher - for viewers on both the outside and inside -
is the AC Schnitzer folding roof which with its 710 x 810 mm opening
almost gives the Mini that wonderful cabriolet feeling.
The Mini's driving dynamics are further improved by suspension
components which lower the vehicle by around 30 mm, in conjunction with
the AC Schnitzer Type I alloys in 7.5J x 17" with tyres 215/40 R
17. A height adjustable racing suspension and spring kits for pure
lowering are already available for all Mini models. Finally the
suspension concept is completed by the aluminium strut brace for the
front axle, which stabilises the front at fast cornering or sudden
evasive manoeuvres.
So it's no wonder that the subjective driving impressions are similar to
a Go-Kart on twisty roads or at high speeds. For tyres we recommend high
performance tyres by Continental and Michelin.
The famous "finishing touch" is given by interior components
such as the 3-spoke sports airbag steering wheel, aluminium pedal sets
with matching footrest cover, the aluminium gear knob and the aluminium
handbrake handle. Last but not least, special foot mats are available
with the two-colour embroidered AC Schnitzer "Technology &
Design" logo.
