The recently unveiled 2012 Mini Cooper proves, once again, that size is no indicator of power. Minis have been in high demand with dealers struggling to keep their lots full and the new 2012 Coopers are going to make that even harder. Mini fans have already come to expect all the power you could want in a sports coup stuffed inside what is, arguably, the smallest frame available today. The Minis haven’t made a name for themselves on strength alone, however, as they are also known for their beautiful and stylish appearance. Over the past few years, Mini Coopers have become one of the must have cars for sports car enthusiasts and the Mini Cooper 2012 additions continue this tradition.
Mini Coopers have come to be known as the mini powerhouse and the 2012 Mini Cooper is, by no means, an exception to this rule. Packed into this pint sized sports coupe is a veritable powerhouse of an engine. Mini fans will be delighted to find that the standard 2012 Cooper engine is a monstrously supercharged 1.6 liter transverse 4 cylinder engine. While others may choose to go with an 8 cylinder engine, the 2012 Mini Cooper is all about getting the most out of it’s small size. This is why the standard engine comes with a whopping 115 horsepower that turns at 6,000 revolutions per minute with 110 pounds of torque per foot at 4,500 rpm.
For the 2012 Cooper fans that are looking for a bit of an upgrade, Cooper is offering the Mini S. Under the hood of the 2012 Mini Cooper S is an expertly engineered 4 cylinder transverse supercharged engine. While this seems similar to the standard model, the Cooper 2012 S model delivers a blistering 163 horsepower at 6,000 rpm. The S model doesn’t stop there as it delivers 155 pounds of torque per foot at 4,000 rpm. Looking at these specs, it’s quite easy to see why the Mini Cooper has had no problem making a name for itself and standing out from the crowd of boring, oversized automobiles.
All of this adds up to a small car that knows how to burn to rubber! The supercharged engines that have been engineered into the new 2012 Cooper line offer a blinding top speed. When running flat out, the 2012 Mini Cooper has a top speed of 124 miles per hour. Not only does the new Cooper go faster than some of its competitors but it gets there faster as well. The 2012 Cooper blasts from zero to sixty in only nine seconds! No one would have expected such force from such a small package and this is what makes the Cooper brand so incredibly desirable.
