Question Turbo S???

Check out:
http://www.autonews.com/news.cms?newsId=2268

Toward the bottom it mentions a Turbo S coming at the end of the year. Turbo? Instead of a Supercharger? What gives? Anyone have clues?

Turbo S? I've seen a VW Beetle Turbo S. Looked well good!

Arrow Misprint Confirmed

I just got this back from the Mini Communications Manager here in the States:

"It's a misprint - we are Super all the way..."

But of course....

Some places are working on aftermarket Turbo kits (or offer them now). But the Cooper S is supercharged. And very nice it is too.
