Romeo Ferraris Introduces the MINI Countryman 150o Anniversario
The MINI Countryman may be, you know, British, but that hasn�t stopped Italian tuning house Romeo Ferraris from creating a special edition in celebration of Italy�s 150th anniversary as a nation.
The festive MINI is based on the flagship Countryman Cooper S that is powered by a 1.6-liter turbocharged petrol churning out 184-horses and a peak torque of 240Nm. After Romeo Ferraris technicians remap the ECU and add a new intercooler, a sports air filter and a race-spec exhaust system, the aforementioned numbers grow to 227HP and 328Nm (241.9 lb-ft).
Sportier MINI Countryman JCW Edition Spied Working out at the Nurburgring
Carscoop�s spy photographers have snapped some of the first images of the sportiest edition yet of the Mini Countryman bearing the John Cooper Works logo. The�high-hoon version of Mini�s urban crossover model will come with all the usual styling upgrades and performance modifications we�re used to seeing in the other JCW models.
First and foremost, the Countryman JCW will get a juiced up version of the Cooper S� 1.6-liter twin-scroll turbo engine. Being that the Countryman is much heavier than the other Mini JCW variants, engineers may further hone the four-cylinder powerplant to deliver more than 211-ponies it normally produces, possibly approaching the 230HP mark.
