AC Schnitzer MINI Cooper S Clubman

May 16th 2008 11:15

Famous aftermarket tuner AC Schnitzer has given the MINI Cooper S Clubman (R55) an extensive aerodynamic and mechanical upgrade complete with new front spoiler, a set of Bicolor 18-inch Mi2 wheels and power hike from a standard 128 kW to 166 kW and up to 285 Nm of torque.

Other upgrades include an AC Schnitzer twin sports rear silencer for added performance and to accentuate the exhaust note while a limited slip differential (optional) ensures that the raw engine power (up to maximum 75 percent) is always applied to the right wheel in the front-wheel drive Cooper S Clubman.

The AC Schnitzer spring kit or even the height-adjustable racing suspension improves driving dynamics and gives the Cooper S Clubman a lower and more aggressive stance.

The Official AC Schnitzer Press Release:

It might not transport washing machines, but it's got a big heart
The new MINI Cooper S Clubman by AC Schnitzer with up to 226HP

The name "MINI“ says it all: Physically, the Clubman is not one of the biggest out there, but it's got a bigger heart than any other estate. And now AC Schnitzer provides that final endorphin surge. With its new front spoiler, giving it a harder look than standard, the Cooper S Clubman doesn't just catch the eye but demands respect. In terms of driving dynamics, the agile cornering master shouldn't be underestimated. Especially not when fitted with the AC Schnitzer spring kit or even the height-adjustable racing suspension made in Aachen. The subtle lowering flatters the well-honed figure of the Clubman. The bonnet with its striking power dome hides real muscle. After the AC Schnitzer performance training, the Cooper S develops 226 HP/ 166 kW and a torque of up to 285 Nm. Gas and away! But with spirited driving, don't forget: secure your load first!

An optional limited slip differential (up to maximum 75 percent) developed by the renowned BMW tuning house ensures that the raw engine power is always applied to the right wheel when cornering and not lost through the exhaust. Even the exhaust gas flow plays a dual role of utility and aesthetics: Not only does it drive the turbo, but the AC Schnitzer twin sports rear silencer plays an almost orchestral note. The musical masterpiece with its chromed tailpipes is also a top level eyecatcher. Like the perfectly styled alloy wheels specially designed for the MINI in Aachen. Variants available are the Bicolor wheel Mi2 in 7.5 x18" and the Mi1 in the classic AC Schnitzer look in 7.5 x 17". And naturally the passionate MINI fan wants the right accessories in the interior too. Like the attractive controls and sports pedals of aluminium - naturally from AC Schnitzer.
