The
advanced turbocharged
petrol and diesel power units are both inherently quiet
and smooth, but further careful optimisation of the
engine installations has made it possible to reduce powertrain sound levels to best - in - class levels.
Technology we take for granted now, such as TFSI
petrol engines,
advanced diesel engines and LED headlights, are just some of the technologies Audi has taken from its LMP1 program to its production lines.
• New generation of
engines with MINI TwinPower Turbo Technology; three model variants available as of market launch: MINI Cooper with 100 kW / 136 bhp 3 - cylinder
engine, MINI Cooper S with 141 kW / 192 bhp 4 - cylinder
petrol engine and MINI Cooper D with 3 - cylinder
diesel engine (85 kW / 116 bhp); expansion of the model program to include the entry - level variants MINI One D (3 - cylinder
diesel engine, 70 kW / 95 bhp)
and MINI One (3 - cylinder spark - ignition
engine, 75 kW / 102 bhp); 6 - speed manual transmission as standard, with optional 6 - speed automatic transmission or sports automatic transmission, also newly developed; extensive MINIMALISM technology including automatic
engine start / stop function likewise in conjunction with automatic transmission
and optional GREEN mode; improved driving performance figures
and reduced fuel consumption; biggest efficiency
advance in the MINI Cooper with automatic transmission: acceleration from zero to 100 km / h 2.6 seconds faster, average fuel consumption 27 per cent lower; lowest fuel consumption
and CO2 levels in the MINI Cooper D: 3.5 — 3.6 litres / 100 km, 92 — 95 g / km (EU test cycle figures, dependent on tyre format selected).
Jaguar Land Rover will be developing technologically
advanced, 4 - cylinder, lightweight, low emissions
diesel and petrol powertrains for its future line - up at its new
Engine Manufacturing Centre.
