Could it be... a 250 HP MINI?

The aftermarket specialists at RevoZport have recently announced their plans to offer a new upgrade package from the MINI Coupe and MINI Roadster, which will come with 250 HP.

According to the tuning house, the two versions of the MINI which will be modified, the Coupe and the Roadster, will get a carbon / Kevlar body kit, including new front and rear bumpers, revised side skirts, a ventilated engine hood, a carbon fiber roof, a prominent rear spoiler and a styling package, which is widening the car by 15 mm and it’s also reducing the weight by 30 kg or 66 lbs.

“Completely designed in-house by its designer from the UK office, the sleek and sporty Mini Coupe has turned into an extreme sports coupe that weight 30kg lighter and a power boost from 181hp to a staggering 250hp. To achieve this, Revozport team up with the engineering team at TARGA Racing whom is in charge of building the performance kit and the aerokit is complete built with carbon composite fibre with the latest curing method”, as RevoZport is saying in its official press release.

Power to the MINI Coupe Targa Raze is being provided by the same 1.6 liter engine, which has now been equipped with a larger intercooler, a titanium exhaust system, camshafts and a revised ECU, and the total output developed is now 250 HP (253 PS / 186 kW), 69 HP more than the standard version.
