Wonder which engine was being used?

 

All I can think of is James May's Nuburgring rant.


I still want to reserve judgement until I see / drive one.

 

^^^ Must be getting hot down in Taxas... I detect circuit overload...

 

A car that fugly better be quick!!

 

:cornut: The engine that's in the MINI. There's only 1 engine in a factory MINI.(I'm just remembering when you posted on 'Made This Today'. "I made this out of Aluminium." Crashton and I commented that it some what resembled an aircraft fuselage and asked what it was and you come back with,"Itzaluminium.") Payback:lol::lol::lol:

I figure that MINI is not powered by any 3 cyl lump..... Sounds like it has the beans.

 

It's an S, which would make it the Prince engine. Initially only the non-S gets a 3-cyl, and the S will continue with the Prince for a couple of years.

 

No, it's the new BMW 2.0 4 cylinder engine. The new S will have it in March of 2014.

 

Meh its sounds ok, but I really like the camo the most.

 

Is red faster than camo? :confused5:

 

Hummmmm Well it would be camo over Red so
