MINI Twinpower Turbo
In november reveals the BMW new MINI, and in the run-up to that unveiling, we now get some of the information about the new engines and other technology.

MINI turn now TwinPower Turbo technology in all engines, with dual Vanos on the petrol engines also have standard. All engines are designed to be as light and compact as possible and to meet the EU6 standard. The base model gets a 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol which is good for 136 hp and 220 Nm of torque with a fuel cut function for 230 Nm. In addition, there is a two-liter four-cylinder with 192 hp, 280 Nm of torque as standard and 300 Nm in boosting. Both engines get their maximum torque at 1250 rpm and both cubes rotate up to 6500 revs per minute. Also, new diesel engines for the new MINI, with the entry-level a 116 hp and 270 Nm is strong 1.5 three-cylinder will be. These common rail diesels work with a maximum injection pressure of 2000 bar.

The new engines will be linked to newly developed handbakken and vending machines, where the new handbakken use of a sensor that causes the engine an appropriate amount tussengas to rev-match for the switch gear. In addition, the vending machine now start-stop technique is used. In addition, vending machines that are equipped with a navigation system now rely on technology the right gears to apply on the basis of GPS data and traffic conditions, where, for example, a different gear is selected for a junction or bend. Rolls Royce engineering for MINI, fat hear.

The engines come to hang out in a completely redesigned chassic, with roughly the same layout is used as in the previous MINI: multilink rear axle, single-link spring strut front axle. Is the track width increased for better handling. The dampers are now disconnected from the body with the help of “complex struts” and that there should be in combination with the lowering of the rigid weight, ensure that the new generation MINI’s even harder around the corner. In addition, there are lighter alloy wheels to help save fuel and the soil was re-designed to provide less lift to be generated.

The most important thing to a MINI, of course, is for the enthusiast the steering. MINI introduces electromechanical power steering (EPS) with speed-dependent excitation. This system also makes it possible to have a parking-assist feature to introduce. Also, there is thought to be torque-steer compensation. Also, it will MINI for the first time, an adjustable base offer, which can be selected from two settings: sport and comfort.
