AC Schnitzer, as you know, tunes everything in the BMW/MINI family. Here’s their first go at upgrading the new MINI Coupe.
They provide a rather thorough tuning package for the Coupe, beginning with a couple of visual tweaks such as chrome detailing for front and rear, new graphics and paint jobs.
For the interior AC offers the usual treatment of aluminum pedals and footrests, special handbrake lever, velours floor mats, and a shift knob with digital gear display.
As for the wheels and tires, they recommend the Mi2 BiColor18-inch rims with high performance tyres from Continental and Michelin in size 225/30 R 18 or 215/35 R 18 or optionally in 205/40 R 18. They are complemented by AC’s height-adjustable racing suspension or spring kit which lower the car for a killer look and promise Go-Kart-like handling.
AC Schnitzer will also provide performance upgrade kits for all the engines in the range, but they are still in development. Meanwhile you can improve the performance via AC Schnitzer limited slip differential for the MINI Cooper S Coupé with locking up to 75%, and their sports exhaust system.
A set of high performance brake system with 4-piston fixed caliper brakes (left/right) with slotted discs (left/right) is also available.
