Mini Cooper by Eibach

If you have a limited budget and still want to tune your Mini Cooper, Eibach demonstrates that with few modifications, you can get maximum driving pleasure with less money. In order to make the car more stable, Eibach installed its Pro-Kit Performance Springs, which lowered the car with up to 30 millimeters and added 17” Borbet LS-type alloy wheels. The interior also received some attention with new cockpit-carbon fiber features made by the specialist Spangenberg.

With the MINI One, suspension specialist Eibach shows how up-to-date driving pleasure has to look: namely, anyone who thinks that HP alone make a car sporty only needs to watch old US action films, where 300 HP muscle cars clumsily slid round the bends. The MINI was put together back in the Sixties according to a quite different recipe. It had virtually nothing under the bonnet, but the MINI Cooper flattened the assembled HP-elite at the Monte Carlo Rally - and not just once.

Its secret: manoeuvrable proportions, low weight, and a well-designed suspension. A combination that appears more contemporary than ever in these times of high fuel and car prices and growing environmental consciousness.

Mini will unveil a new model, a Sports Activity Vehicle in 2010. It will be previewed at this year’s Paris Auto Show in a concept version.

The new model, a five-doors one, will be taller than any other Mini model and will also see a two-wheel-drive version, built on the same chassis. This new model, a two-wheel-drive ‘Mini Maxi’ hatch will be launched in 2012.

The SAV will get a similar range of petrol and diesel engines to the current range, with prices likely to start at around £16,500.
