Default 2012 Mini Coupe

Just thought I'd post this. The 2012 Mini Coupe. This is the John Cooper Works model.

Vehicle Type FWD 2dr 2-passenger 2dr Hatchback
Estimated MSRP $31,900
Assembly location Graz, Austria
Drivetrain
Configuration Transverse, front-engine, front-wheel drive
Engine type Turbocharged, inline-4
Displacement (cc/cu-in) 1,598/98
Block/head material Aluminum/aluminum
Valvetrain DOHC, four valves per cylinder, variable intake-valve timing
Compression ratio (x:1) 10.0

I think it's pretty bad ass looking, but it looks like the guys who wrote the article weren't that impressed by the drive, at least compared to the hatchback.

^ 240hp Buuut it is another 8k. I would say the Mugen RR and the 2012 John Works Mini are completely different calibers of cars.

Also 240 n/a is a little different than f.i.
