Engines - Exhaust

The bonnet with its striking power dome hides real muscle. After the AC Schnitzer performance training, the Cooper S develops 226 HP/ 166 kW and a torque of up to 285 Nm.

After the AC Schnitzer treatment the Diesel version of the Clubman has 100 kW / 136 HP instead of 80 kW / 110 HP. Gas and away! But with spirited driving, don't forget: secure your load first!

An optional limited slip differential (up to maximum 75 percent) ensures that the raw engine power is always applied to the right wheel when cornering and not lost through the exhaust.

Even the exhaust gas flow plays a dual role of utility and aesthetics: Not only does it drive the turbo, but the AC Schnitzer twin sports rear silencer plays an almost orchestral note. The musical masterpiece with its chromed tailpipes is also a top level eyecatcher.

Brakes

Our brake system (for MINI Cooper S) uses 4-pot fixed calipers on the front axle. Fast and precise response is guaranteed by the slotted, internally vented discs. At the same time, the high performance brake system from AC Schnitzer delivers excellent deceleration even under sustained use, in both extreme heat and driving rain.The generously dimensioned brake discs in 328 x 28 millimetres bleeds off the speed energetically even after 20 downhill bends, while the pressure point remains stable.
