You can buy the whole R57 Cabrio tuning package which will net you a horsepower increase from the stock 175HP to either 208 HP for the domestic market or 226HP for export. Additionally buyers of the tuning kit will be able to opt for a limited slip differential, adjustable suspension upgrade and/or a sport exhaust.

If that’s not enough AC Schnitzer will also offer an array of different body kits to upgrade the look of your Cooper S.

MINI Cooper S Clubman

MINI Cooper S Clubman

Mini and Airstream have joined forces to offer the one-off MINI Cooper S Clubman and Airstream creations designed by Republic of Fritz Hansen. The Cooper S Clubman   reflects the same adventurous personality and style as its Airstream companion plus all the interior gadgets you can expect to find in a MINI. This MINI Cooper S Clubman will be predominately jet black with black “wetsuit” neoprene accents along with green trim.  “It has always been important for us to implement new products and ideas in unconventional ways.

The concept MINI and Airstream, designed by Republic of Fritz Hansen, presents a surprisingly different way of using a MINI and an Airstream with a design, which consciously transcends into the world of the surfer. At the same time, we have achieved a successful co-operation with two international cult brands which authentically embodies the MINI attitude to life” said, Andreas-Christoph Hofmann, Head of MINI Brand Communication. We look forward to seeing this handsome pair cruising down the highway!
