Engines: impressive
power, exemplary efficiency.
The MINI Roadster will be
available with a choice of
four powerful – yet also
highly efficient – petrol
and diesel engines from
launch. The model line-up
ranges from the MINI Cooper
Roadster (90 kW/122 hp), via
the MINI Cooper SD Roadster
(105 kW/143 hp) and MINI
Cooper S Roadster
(135 kW/184 hp), to the
sharpest performer of all,
the 155 kW/211 hp
MINI John Cooper Works
Roadster.
Chassis: agility and
precision ensure unbeatable
driving fun.
Teaming up with the powerful
engines and customary MINI
front-wheel drive, chassis
technology of a quality
unparalleled in the small
car segment and tuned
specially for the MINI
Roadster imbues the new
model with the brand’s
hallmark driving fun.
Electric Power Steering with
speed-sensitive power
assistance comes as
standard, as does DSC
(Dynamic Stability Control),
while Dynamic Traction
Control (DTC) with
Electronic Differential Lock
Control (EDLC) – standard on
the MINI John Cooper Works
Roadster, optional on all
other models – adds even
greater assurance on
slippery surfaces and
additional sports
performance under dynamic
cornering.
Optimised weight
balance and aerodynamic
properties.
A torsionally rigid body
(complete with special
strengthening elements) and
low centre of gravity
enhance both the handling
agility and safety of the
MINI Roadster. Meanwhile,
front and head-thorax
airbags, an extremely rigid
windscreen frame and
polished stainless steel
roll-over bars fixed to the
body join forces in the name
of occupant protection. The
aerodynamic balance of the
MINI Roadster is optimised
by an active rear spoiler,
which extends automatically
once the car reaches a speed
of 80 km/h (50 mph).
High-quality
standard equipment, broad
scope for individualisation.
The MINI Roadster underlines
its premium character with a
high-quality range of
standard equipment,
including air conditioning
(MINI Cooper S Roadster,
MINI Cooper SD Roadster,
MINI John Cooper Works
Roadster), electrically
adjustable exterior mirrors,
Park Distance Control,
height-adjustable seats and
an audio system with
MP3-compatible CD player and
AUX IN connection. Levels of
comfort and individuality
can be further enhanced by
specifying attractive
options such as xenon
Adaptive Headlights, black
headlight housing, Comfort
Access and the Always Open
Timer. And the MINI Roadster
also offers in-car use of
innovative MINI Connected
infotainment and
communications functions.
