The car itself is based primarily on the MINI Cooper S, with similar front and rear styling and the l.6-liter four-cylinder turbo engine that debuted in the 2011 MINI S. (The engine gets 181 hp and up to 192 lb-ft of torque, with a 0-to-60 mph sprint of 6.6 seconds.) Fuel economy ratings are 35 mpg on the highway and 27 mpg in the city under the manual transmission variant.
