Mini Cooper S is a sportier version of the old Mini Cooper with a new engine and a stiffer suspension. The car can’t reach incredible speeds but for it can accelerate really fast and it’s great handling makes it one of the most easy and fun to drive cars. People used to say that Mini Cooper “handles like a go-cart” and we think it’s easier to park than a motorcycle. The guys from Prior Design made a special styling kit for this tiny car which makes it look more aggressive. The new body kit is made from new front and rear spoilers, wide side skirts and the car also received new rims equipped with wide tires and a lovely body paint.

If you like small and speedy cars then Mini should be the best pick for you. There was a movie a couple of years ago called Italian Job where 3 Minis where modified and turned into reputable racing cars. Since everyone wants to make a car that it’s like in movies the guys from John Cooper Works modified this Mini into a great racing car. This won’t be approved for use on the roads and it’s designed only for racing. The tuners installed a 1.6L engine that can develop about 210 HP [that's really huge for a car that's so small]. Also, they’ve upgraded the Engine Cooling Unit, Suspension kit, turbo kit and many other performance modifications. [click to continue…]
