Paceman John Cooper Works
As
an extravagant individualist in urban traffic, the MINI Paceman is a real
eye-catcher. The world's first ever Sports Activity Coupé in the premium
compact segment presents an excitingly athletic and elegant design as well as
enthralling sporty driving properties. Now there is more to discover and lots
more driving fun to experience as well. The new MINI Paceman presents precise
visual modifications and innovative equipment details while at the same time
offering an optimised balance between driving performance figures and fuel
consumption. As part of the model revision, the premium characteristics in the
interior of the 4-door model were also refined. Meanwhile, new paint finishes
and light alloy rims provide additional freedom for characteristic MINI
customisation.
The
new MINI Cooper S Paceman is more powerful yet also more efficient than ever,
its engine delivering an output that has been increased by 5 kW to 140 kW/190
bhp. The extended use of MINIMALISM technology contributes to reduced fuel
consumption and emission figures in all other model variants, too, as well as
enabling significantly increased figures for acceleration, elasticity and top
speed. What is more, all model variants of the new MINI meet the EU6 exhaust
emission standard. The MINI John Cooper Works Paceman also lines up for the
start to coincide with the market launch of the model in July 2014. With an
output of 218 bhp and fitted as standard with the all-wheel drive system
ALL4, this extreme athlete also offers impressive sprint capacity and optimised
efficiency.
The
innovative concept of the MINI Paceman includes a distinctive and highly
expressive body design which reflects the automobile's properties in hallmark
MINI design style. The upright front section with large headlamps and hexagonal
radiator grille contour conveys solidity and presence, while the elongated
silhouette defined by horizontal lines stand for sporty elegance. Powerfully
modelled surfaces express sporty flair and versatility. The high-opening
tailgate indicates the high degree of functionality and versatility offered by
the MINI Paceman. Its distinctive character is also underscored by the rear
lights which are horizontally arranged for the first time in a MINI.
The
MINI Paceman is consistently designed as a four-seater. Its standard trim
comprises sports seats for driver and front passenger. The two single seats at
the rear offer excellent shoulder and head room, lateral support and comfort.
The exclusive lounge character of the second row is likewise enhanced by the
armrests in the side rear trim panels. What is more, the driving experience
offered by the car benefits from acoustic comfort, which has been further
optimised in the new MINI Paceman.
For
even more sporty flair in the cockpit there are now anthracite-coloured dials
for the engine speed and road speed display in the style of the MINI John
Cooper Works Paceman, whose central instrument also bears the John Cooper Works
logo. The standard trim of the new MINI Paceman likewise includes chrome
applications for the ventilation controls, clearly reflecting the car's refined
premium characteristics.
One
of the features that highlights the functionality of the MINI Paceman is the
standard MINI Center Rail storage system between the driver and front passenger
seats and a storage tray between the rear seats. In addition, the rear
backrests can be folded down individually. This enables expansion of the
luggage volume from 330 to as much as 1,080 litres.
The
new MINI Cooper S Paceman further consolidates its leading position in the
segment in terms of driving fun in that it now offers increased power. Its
4-cylinder spark ignition engine with twin-scroll turbocharger, direct
injection and variable valve control sees a rise in output by 5 kW to 140
kW/190 bhp. This reduces the time required from acceleration from standing to 100
km/h by 0.1 seconds to 7.4 seconds. Meanwhile the new MINI Cooper S Paceman
completes the interim sprint from 80 to 120 km/h in fifth gear in 8.3 seconds -
0.2 seconds than before. Its top speed is increased by 3 km/h to 220 km/h. At
the same time, the fuel consumption of the new MINI Cooper S Paceman in the EU
test cycle is reduced to 6.0 litres per 100 kilometres, with the relevant CO2
emissions dropping to 139 grams per kilometre.
The
sprint capability of the new MINI Cooper Paceman is likewise enhanced. The 122 bhp model variant now accelerates in 10.3 seconds from standing to 100
km/h, increasing speed from 80 to 120 km/h within 14.7 seconds. The top speed
of the new MINI Cooper Paceman is 193 km/h. Its average fuel consumption in the
EU test cycle drops to 5.7 litres per 100 kilometres (CO2 emissions: 137 g/km).
The two diesel variants of the new MINI Paceman are also more agile and
efficient than ever before. The 143 bhp MINI Cooper SD Paceman sprints
in 9.1 seconds (minus 0.1 seconds) from zero to 100 km/h and in 9.6 seconds
(minus 0.4 seconds) from 80 to 120 km/h. Its average fuel consumption in the EU
test cycle drops to 4.5 litres per 100 kilometres (CO2 emissions: 119 g/km). The
new MINI Cooper D Paceman (82 kW/112 bhp) especially increases performance on
the interim sprint, It accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 10.8 seconds and
from 80 to 120 km/h in 11.4 seconds, in other words 0.4 seconds faster than
before. The average fuel consumption of the new MINI Cooper D Paceman in the EU
test cycle is now only 4.2 litres per 100 kilometres (CO2 emission: 111 g/km).
The
outstanding level of driving fun offered by the MINI John Cooper Works Paceman
is also increased. The top athlete, which transfers the power of its 218
bhp turbo engine to all four wheels as standard, now accelerates from zero to
100 km/h 6.9 seconds, 0.1 seconds faster than previously. Meanwhile the time
required for the sprint from 80 to 120 km/h is now reduced by 0.2 seconds to
7.6 seconds. The maximum speed of the new MINI John Cooper Works Paceman is
increased by 3 km/h to 229 km/h. And its efficiency has been enhanced, too. The
