The new 2007 Mini Cooper S will give great performance along with improved braking system. With its lighter steering and powerful engine, the new Cooper did not neglect its brakes. Now, the brakes of the Cooper S feature ventilated discs all around, equipped with ABS, brakeforce distribution and BMW’s DTC traction control. All of these added features make the vehicle safer in all weather condition.

Not much change was done on its exterior, but when one drives it, they will feel the change. One of the biggest changes for this year’s Mini Cooper and Cooper S were the engines and the manner of forced aspiration in the S. It can generate up to 172 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 177 lb-ft of maximum torque. If this is still not enough, the Cooper S can increase its turbocharger’s pressure via something called “overboost” to generate 192 lb-ft of torque.

But besides adding power, the new Cooper S engine is more efficient than the one it replaces. Without a supercharger to add engine drag, and with the addition of variable valve timing and direct injection, the Cooper S offers some truly thrifty thrills. Its remarkable fuel consumption rating of 29 mpg in the city, 36 mpg on the highway is up from last year’s already good 25 mpg in the city and 35 mpg on the highway.

The capabilities of the engine will surely compliment the car’s excellent braking system, not to mention all that power it can generate. Power is one of the emphasis in the new 2007 Mini Cooper S.
