The sportier 2007 Cooper S comes with a version of the all-new 1.6-liter aluminum four-cylinder developed with Peugeot Citroen that employs a turbocharger to produce 55 hp more than the base Cooper. The outgoing S model used a supercharger, which is theoretically less efficient than a turbocharger. The new engine employs BMW technology, such as direct fuel injection for improved power and better efficiency. (As with the other new engine, BMW says this one is 20 percent more fuel efficient than last year’s S-model engine.) ----off a website.
this one is supercharged though, i just noticed the tailights.

Ah, I did not know that. Thats pretty cool. However, I'd be willing to bet thats a supercharged model seeing how the '07 Minis arent on sale yet .
