Special Tuner: AC Schnitzer Mini Cooper R56

Automotive News, AC Schnitzer Mini Cooper R56
AC Schnitzer, which most recently unveiled a tuning package for the BMW 3 Series convertible, has a new focus: the newly redesigned Mini Cooper.

Schnitzer's R56 package for the new Mini is built around the 170-horsepower turbo engine. The tuner fits a performance exhaust system with chrome tailpipe, as well as a Schnitzer racing suspension developed on the Nürburgring.

An aero body kit bundles a body-color front spoiler and contrasting rear skirt with integrated diffuser. There is a choice of Schnitzer alloy wheels in 17- and 18-inch sizes.

Interior modifications include aluminum pedals and a gauge package.
