Mini Clubman, 2007 - 2014
The second-generation MINI has received a very interesting variant: the MINI Clubman, which comes with a 241 mm longer body and has much more space for the rear seats, as well as a larger luggage compartment. The Clubman has a double rear side door, and one extra on the side. The MINI has the same configuration as its predecessor, with a cross-mounted four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive. The engines are now borrowed from PSA Peugeot Citroen and are more powerful and much more economical. The following variants are available in total: the weakest diesel MINI Cooper D Clubman (1.6 L, power 110 hp / 4000 rpm, 0-100 km / h in 10.4 s), sportier MINI Cooper Clubman (1.6 L, top speed 224 km / h, power 175 hp / 5500 rpm, 0-100 km / h in 7.6 s) and the most powerful turbo variant "MINI Cooper S" (1.6 L Turbo, 175 hp, up to 100 km / h in 7.6 s) ). The turbo engine is the same as the Peugeot 207 GTi / RC model. These MINIs differ not only in the engines, but also in some styling details - the Cooper S has a unique air trap on the hood, a double exhaust pipe. The car is truly modern, but at the same time perfectly retained the spirit of the old Mini. It’s a small, dynamic, great retro-style city car. It is worth mentioning that this MINI is rated 5 stars in Euro NCAP safety tests. Like the good old Mini, the car can be ordered with a variety of roof colors, lanes running through the hood, large rally-style auxiliary lights, and more. This is a great car for those who appreciate style and history, and love dynamics.
