Today saw the entrance of the new JCW onto the track. one thing to note, the breaks are flipppping huge! 4 cylinder, spring loader! there gonna stop ya!

Also the R57 convertable has gone "coatless" round the track. pretty mad day

240mph? In a MINI?

I'll believe it when I see it.

MartinSSZ · Nov 28th, 2007, 08:34 PM

240kph?

mikeythemini · Nov 28th, 2007, 08:41 PM

Its a bugatti mini

JAMIE1131 · Nov 29th, 2007, 05:27 AM

Must be 240KPH, ie 150MPH!

coopersooper · Nov 30th, 2007, 11:03 AM

tis what i thought, must be 240kph, but the engineer defiantly said mph, i asked him again, kept repeating myself and he said 100% mph, so you guys will just have to find out, don't think its possible but would be amazing if it is! The car is something else a new gear box has been made for it as the old/now cooper s gearbox would be ripped to shreds, this one is toughened and strengthened. there will not be an automatic version as it just would be possible as the car would wreck the gearbox in 5th and well what more can I say the car is awesome!

MartinSSZ · Nov 30th, 2007, 11:57 AM

Not going to let on which track it was then?

coopersooper · Nov 30th, 2007, 11:08 PM

Martin it entered the production track! none will be seen on the road for at least two months till i get hold of one! wow watch out M1 London to Newcastle in an hour! woooooosh

If you show me a MINI that hits 240mph (and dropping one out of a Hercules from 20,000ft doens't count), I shall eat my hat.

Admittedly, my hat is made from chocolate and marshmallows, so it's win win for me.

Lolance · Dec 1st, 2007, 11:44 AM

I'll eat my pants. and unluckily for me, mine aren't made out of chocolate and marshmallows!!

ONED · Dec 1st, 2007, 11:51 AM

.....just chocolate coated !

JAMIE1131 · Dec 3rd, 2007, 05:21 AM

So how many horsepower does this 240MPH MINI Veyron have?

No MINI.............................in fact no car less than £200k will hit that kind of speed. Let alone one shaped like a brick !. It will defonately be KPH and as rumoured will be around 212bhp which will add up to around 150mph.

The gearbox may have revised / strengthened internals, but i doubt it.

Auto gearboxes are on the whole stronger units than manuals, so if they are dropping this option, i think it's more likely to be down to perceived market branding rather than technical limitations of the hardware.

JMHO.

Rakey · Dec 3rd, 2007, 05:26 PM

Also consider that most BMW's are limited at 147mph, so why make a MINI that goes faster

Oh but the car does exist now, I will back that info up

J1JPE · Dec 3rd, 2007, 06:09 PM

insider info - nice ;}

Meeerrrk · Dec 3rd, 2007, 07:21 PM

with ~210bhp it would still struggle to do 150mph, more like 140max.
i used to own a seat ibiza cupra which i tuned to ~260bhp, that ONLY just managed 155mph so i very much doubt the cooper s will do 150mph.

The stage 1 kit is quoted at 140mph + IIRC. So 150mph with another 20bhp is about right.
