The mini is back! The Mini (the new model requires capitalization of the MINI to distinguish it from the old Mini) is a well-known British car brand now owned by BMW. The legendary car was resurrected and is now produced in hatchback and convertible (the roof of this model is fully automatic, which is unusual in a car of this size). The MINI has the same configuration as its predecessor, with a cross-mounted four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive. In total, the following variants were produced: the weakest Mini One (1.4 L), the diesel MINI One / D (1.4 L), the sportier MINI Cooper (1.6 L) and the most powerful turbo variant MINI Cooper S (1.6 L Turbo ). These models differ not only in the engines but also in some style details - the Cooper S has a distinctive air intake on the hood, a dual exhaust pipe, the Cooper has more chrome parts than the One variant, and the MINI D has no visible exhaust pipes. The Mini One, Cooper and Cooper S have a Tritec engine designed by Chrysler, while the Mini D has a Toyota diesel engine. 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. The new MINI, like the good old Mini, 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.
