BMW has released images of the 2007 Mini Cooper. The new car will be offered in Mini Cooper (120 hp 1.6 liter four-cylinder engine) and Cooper S (175 hp 1.6 liter four-cylinder engine) guise. The Mini Cooper reaches its peak 120 hp output at 6,000 rpm and peak torque of 118 lb-ft at 4,250 rpm. The turbocharged Cooper S makes 175 hp at 5,500 rpm, and peak torque of 177 lb-ft comes at just 1,600 rpm. BMW describes the new Cooper’s interior as “revolutionary.” For increased safety, curtain airbags now protect all passengers. Despite the car’s increased measurements, its weight has been reduced by 192 lbs for the Cooper S manual, 72 lbs for the Cooper S auto, 181 lbs for the Cooper manual, and 49 lbs for the Cooper auto.
