Yea i tried to find someone else saying the same thing to confirm but i couldnt if anyone else can please go ahead.... with that said I wouldnt really expect them to with them saying in the press release its going on sale in england in augest (at least that what i think it said)

The Overrun · Mar 6th, 2008, 03:44 PM

Any news on the engine? I bet this one is underrated as well

tbi91bw · Mar 6th, 2008, 04:13 PM

happy about the 17"wheels (don't like the stiffer ride of the 18")

here (belgium) we can order from april and delivery start in august,
I'll order for delivery in januari'09
this is as fast as little Cayman but so much more discrete
so my clients won't be bothered

question: are the recaro's on the hatch included?

Nice pictures!

JG02JSG · Mar 8th, 2008, 08:30 AM

Does anyone know when the dealers are going to start there waiting list's ? or even start taking order for this beast because i want one

DHA · Mar 8th, 2008, 10:43 AM

I have had a deposit on one since the middle of last year. I suspect most will add you to a list with a deposit.

MINIMANIAUK · Mar 9th, 2008, 11:26 AM

Interesting descision .
The level of tune and way they have gone about it , still leaves lots of headroom for aftermarket!
the engine output and boost level of nearly19psi dont seem to tally.
The details of what they have exactly done with head/valves/pistons are not clear but reducing the compression was obviously a goal.
The traction control add on is a good idea ,but racelogic have been doing these for some years and add a launch control,so not really new ,but a worthwhile addition.
Looks like they opted for a bit more torque rather than bhp - I guess there must have been some high RPM issues,or fuel consumption issues.
Perhaps a sign of more austere times ahead...

paa100 · Mar 11th, 2008, 11:43 AM

Put a deposit down yesterday.
Delivery expected July/August.
Not specced yet - probably May

Congrats.

And judging by the pics I saw of the Top Gear run you've already changed the MINI once already since the IJ in November. Clubman looked good in the pics
