At the beginning of 2007 Hamann created a special aerodynamic kit for Mini R56. After a year and a half the car tuning company completes this tuning package with performance improvements for all engines that equip this small speedy car. For Mini Cooper S the guys from Hamann modified the control unit and the 1.6 turbo engine can develop now 204 HP. They also offer a stronger kit for this Cooper S called SportKit CS 230 that will upgrade the car’s engine cooling unit and it also has a new intercooler and exhaust system. This performance kit will take the car to 230 HP and 330 Nm.

MF Exclusive: MINI will be taking the “Always Open” slogan to new levels with the 2009 MINI Convertible. As part of the advertising strategy, MINI is developing a gauge in the car that will tell you the percentage of time you’ve had the roof down. The hope is that it will encourage owners to live the “open” lifestyle even further. Expect this gauge to be placed somewhere near the tachometer.

We’ve also learned that MINI will be leaving the top design essentially unchanged with one notable exception. Based on recent insider information (and backed-up by spy photos), MINI will be doing away with the roll-hoops seen in the R52. Instead we can expect a pop-up system similar to the one found on the BMW 3 Series convertible. Replacing the roll-hoops in favor of a pop-up system would go a long way in making the word “open” a bit more meaningful.

Ready to bare all with the new and improved R57 roofless variety, AC Schnitzer has treated us to some welcome goodies. Everything from a limited slip differential, a height adjustable sports suspension, and an aluminum strut brace for the front axle are on the menu.

Then to ensure you stand out from the zillion other MINI owners they have developed a sport exhaust system with chrome accents, a wide selection of wheel and tyre combos, a new front spoiler and rear skirt and plenty of decal choices. Because the interior will be on show too, AC Schnitzer has laid on an aluminum gear knob and pedals as well as velour floor mats which of course will stay pristine like the rest of the car.
And what of the performance, I hear you holler - well that is been boosted to a healthy 208bhp from 175bhp so you will certainly have the edge over your contemporaries.
