BMW Group tuning specialist AC Schnitzer has gotten a hold of a 2012
MINI Cooper Coupe and has wasted no time outfitting the tiny two-seater
with off-the-shelf bolt-on upgrades. Surely, we can expect more
comprehensive tuning in the form of body
styling and engine performance enhancements, but we'll have to wait as
they are currently in development. In the meantime, MINI Coupe owners
can start to improve the already
competent handling even more with AC Schnitzers limited slip
differential, height-adjustable racing suspension, aluminium strut tower
brace and rear axle antiroll bar. With improved handling a high
performance brake system is also
needed. 4-piston fixed calipers with slotted discs, upgraded brake pads,
caliper holder and braided steel brake lines can be supplied while AC
Schnitzer's Mi2 BiColor wheels in 18 inches or the Mi1 silver wheels in
17 inch can complete the suspension upgrades. Other components available
include the AC Schnitzer complete sport
exhaust system with chromed racing tailpipe trim from the MINI Cooper S
and the John Cooper Works Coupe, "Technology & Design" sticker set,
gear knob with digital gear display, aluminium pedal set, foot rests,
handbrake handle and velours foot mats.
