Worldcarfans have more photos of the 2007 MINI testing on the Nurburgring this week. While the article is the same one that they posted in April the photos appear to be taken very recently. In fact this particular testing mule is one of the lightest camoflauged MCSs we’ve seen yet - complete with roll-cage. As always we’d recommend taking a look at the pics and then reading our article from last year to help with any questions you may have: Next Generation MINI Revealed. You can see the pics below:

Scoop: 2007 MINIs Trim Down & Speed Up


The 2007 Cooper S will have an output of 175bhp while the Cooper will get similar bump up to 120bhp according to our sources in the UK. But that added power isn’t the only reason why the 2007 Cooper and Cooper S is set to outperform the previous generation MINI.

A few months back we alluded that the R56 Cooper S would be at least slightly lighter than the current car. What we didn’t know is that this weight reduction has been described as significant by those in the know. Our source went onto say, “knowing that we only got a 88lbs savings from the GP, what you will see with the 2007 MCS will probably shock a few people.” That weight reduction combined with increased power and torque (delivered more evenly through the rev range we’re told) should create increased performence on both the road and track.

Let the waiting lists begin…

Ewwwww...i'm not even considerin of liking it. I'm sure the engineering is awesome, but the look is lame. I think Scrappy has a better body. Haha.

2007 MC & MCS Spotted in Death Valley

We’ve got another R56 related scoop for you today. MotoringFile reader David V. spotted two well broken in 2007 Cooper and Cooper S mules doing some hot weather testing in Death Valley California recently. While they’re essentially the same type of testing mules we’ve seen many times over, these photos give a “real world” impression of the cars that we’ve rarely seen. They also allow you to see some of those new 2007 details quite clearly despite the black tape. You know the drill
