MINI COOPER-BETTER WORLD OF MINI CARS:
The MINI Cooper is a small two-door, four-passenger car produced by BMW as a modern version of the original Mini, offered in both coupe and convertible versions. In the late 1950s, Alec Issigonis designed a small car that would accommodate four adults and their luggage. On August 26, 1959, the MINI was born, produced by the British Motor Corp. Production in 1959 was only around 20,000 cars. BMW purchased the Rover Group in 1994.The 2014 MINI Cooper is all new, ushering in the third generation of the retro coupe. The new Cooper has grown in nearly all dimensions, featuring a larger interior and longer wheelbase. The new dimensions increase occupants' space and aim to increase pedestrian safety. The MINI Cooper also has two new engines.
- 1.5-liter turbocharged inline-three @ 134 hp
- 162 lb-ft of torque.
- 2.0-liter inline-four that produces 189 horsepower
- 221 lb-ft of torque.
