The German tuner AC Schnitzer is well known for for tuning BMW cars. This time it has decided to focus on the BMW's British brand Mini by presenting its interpretation of the Mini Cooper S.
The tuned Mini receives a new exhaust system and revamped suspension. The latter was developed and tested on the Nürburgring circuit. On the outside, the changes concern the front bumpers, which now have prominent corners. The rear end has a diffuser which will probably pull the Mini down to the tarmac. There is a choice of two wheel designs, the classic 17” AC Schnitzer and a brand-new Bicolor 18” wheel.
On the inside, the Mini gets an aluminium package that includes the handbrake handle, the gear shift knob, the foot rest and the pedal set.
