MINI Cooper S

Be it a sprint or a marathon - punchy engines, crisp transmission and lively acceleration make the MINI an all-round sports star. And with stable suspension, a low ground clearance and the go-kart feeling you'd expect from a MINI, you're guaranteed as much fun as you can have on four wheels.

The MINI is not only the most fun small car to drive, it's also one of the safest. And that's official: in April 2007, the MINI received the highest possible score of five stars in the Euro NCAP Crash Test with regard to adult occupant safety. Sophisticated, high-precision regulating and suspension systems combine with perfectly tailored disc brakes to eliminate dangerous situations before they arise. All MINI have Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Cornering Brake Control (CBC), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist as standard. Further, Automatic Stability Control + Traction (ASC+T) is standard on the MINI Cooper D and MINI Cooper S (optional on the MINI One and MINI Cooper), with Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) optional for all MINI models.And even if collisions occur, the wealth of safety features– including six airbags as standard, excellent torsional stiffness, side impact protection, crumple zones and pedestrian-friendly bumpers – guarantee optimum protection all-round.

In the obstacle course of road-using life, the top-class safety equipment of the MINI will see you through everything that nature has to throw at you.
