Specs -
-1275 multi-point fuel injection
-Modern wiring & fuses - no cheap in-line fuses.
-Oil filter moved up and to the front of the engine eliminating oil pipes and reducing leaks.
-Quad dry-coil twin-spark technology.
-Front mounted radiator with electric fan only - quieter, ore efficient, an doesn't need to run when you're on the move.
-65 amp alternator with modern poly-vee belt alternator/water pump drive for greater durability and reliability.
-Much improved torque curve has enabled the introduction of a higher final-drive ratio for more relaxed cruising at motorway speeds.
-For lower internal noise levels, 2.76:1 final drive ratio raises the overall gearing by 16% compared to the previous Mini Cooper. With fourth gear now equivalent to fifth gear on many other cars and a third gear high enough to virtually achieve the 90mph maximum speed, he driving characteristics are very different. The 'overdrive' fourth gear cuts engine speed at 70mph from 3,888 rpm to 3,333 rpm for more comfortable cruising, hile third gear now provides the upper range acceleration and overtaking capability.
