The Cooper S is a high-performance  variant of MINI's iconic hatchback. Like the regular Cooper, the "S"  model was fully redesigned for the 2007 model year. The  second-generation Cooper S is powered by a 1.6 liter four-cylinder  engine producing 172 horsepower, eclipsing the desirable  "100-hp-per-liter" measure revered by enthusiasts.
he engine features a twin-scroll turbocharger, which provides 177 pound-feet of torque maintained consistently throughout from 1600 rpm all the way up to 5000. When accelerating, torque is briefly increased even further to 192 pound-feet by the "overboost" function. All this translates into zero-to-60 mph acceleration in 6.7 seconds and a top speed of 139 mph.
Compared to the first-generation MINI ,  the new model has a lower center of gravity, wide track and the wheels  moved to the extreme corners. This helps ensure go-kart like handling  and increased safety during spirited driving. The EPAS Electrical Power  Assisted Steering helps to make the MINI even more nimble and agile on  the road, speed-related assistance ensuring low steering forces when  parking and precise control at high speeds.
While the 2.76-inch-longer exterior is mostly evolutionary, BMW describes the new interior as "revolutionary." For increased safety, curtain airbags now protect all passengers.
Despite the car's increased measurements, its weight has been reduced by 192 lbs for the Cooper S manual, 72 lbs for the Cooper S auto.
The Cooper S comes standard with six standard airbags, plus a number of electronic safety features. Anti-lock ABS brakes are standard, as are Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBFD) and Cornering Brake Control (CBC).
Automatic Stability Control + Traction (ASC+T) is standard on the MINI Cooper S with an on/off switch. Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) is optional.
A new Hill Assist feature for manual gerabox models maintains brake pressure for up to 3 seconds after the brake pedal has been released and before the clutch has been engaged.
