Mini Coupe 2.0D Cooper SD

Ever since the new Mini was introduced a few years back, there are a number of versions – both factory-made and tuned versions – that you can choose from. The latest Mini Cooper S is no less than a superb car, but it is the newly introduced Mini Coupe 2.0D Cooper SD that has captured petrolheads’ attention.

Yes, it is in fact a diesel. The Mini Coupe 2.0D Cooper SD uses a 2-litre BMW turbodiesel engine capable of producing a stunning 141bhp; the idea of an engine that big in a Mini is simply mind-blowing.

What’s good about this car is that it is very lively to drive. Get behind the wheel and get used to the character of the Cooper SD, and you will be able to sense every twitch the car is making while you are driving. The improved suspension – initially designed to cope with the bigger, heavier engine – offers enough play to transmit body roll and slippage; it will give you the ultimate driving sensation nonetheless, allowing you to compensate for even the slightest under or over steer and push the car around a corner the way you want it to.

Plus, the coupe-look does not disappoint at all!
