2011 MINI Cooper SD
Apparently, the 2011 MINI Cooper SD will be the diesel version of the Cooper S. This means that the power of the 2011 MINI Cooper SD will come from a 1.6-liter turbodiesel engine developing 140 hp. 134 Mini cites one mph and 0-62mph in 8.1sec. The new MINI Cooper SD is also equipped with a wide range of tech minimalism. The MINI Cooper SD also uses specific features of the design model to show its sporting credentials. Mini SD also want to use regular models this transmission in D.
Mini’s latest toy is a new SD version which just so happens to be their most powerful diesel Cooper ever, and yet another reason the Mini Cooper is so darn popular.
The Mini Cooper SD is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel engine that delivers an impressive 143 hp at 4,000 rpm and a peak torque of 225 lb-ft available between 1,750 and 2,700 rpm. Whether we get a piece of this action or not, Mini will be bringing the SD trim level to different Mini models, including the Cooper, Cooper Convertible, Clubman, and Countryman versions. The Mini Cooper SD will be making its world debut at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show with sales beginning shortly thereafter.
The MINI Cooper SD, MINI Cooper SD Clubman, and MINI Cooper SD Countryman will also come with a new roof spoiler.
They receive a 2.0 litre turbo diesel engine which generates 141bhp and 225lb ft of torque. The Cooper SD superminis also get brake energy generation, start/stop, a shift point display and electric power steering.
A six-speed manual box is standard, with buyers able to specify a six-speed auto, which will also be offered on the MINI Cooper SD. The manual gearbox is ‘lightweight’ to help the economy figures.
The most expensive MINI Cooper SD is the four-wheel drive Countryman which comes in at just over £23,000.
