<br />From the base model all the way up to the JCW, there's no shortage of trim levels available for the Mini and its various body-styles. But if you're looking for something a little different, BMW tuner <em>par excellence</em> AC Schnitzer has released a full tuning package for the latest R57 Mini Cabrio. <br /><br />The treats start under the hood, where Schnitzer takes the Cooper S and pumps it up from 175 horsepower (good) to 208 horsepower for the domestic market (better) or 226 horsepower for export (booyah!). Not the kind of tuning house to tweak the engine and leave the rest untouched, AC's also offering a limited slip differential, an adjustable suspension setup, a sport exhaust. Naturally, the buyer can trim out their Cooper with manner of visual upgrades, too, from the aero package to the various rolling stock options and all the requisite decals and interior trim touches.<br /><br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="%GalleryURL%">AC Schnitzer Mini Cooper S cabrio</a></strong></p><a href="/gallery/ac-schnitzer-mini-cooper-s-cabrio/2059453/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/06/01-schnitzercab_thumbnail.jp g" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="/gallery/ac-schnitzer-mini-cooper-s-cabrio/2059454/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/06/02-schnitzercab_thumbnail.jp g" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="/gallery/ac-schnitzer-mini-cooper-s-cabrio/2059476/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/06/03-schnitzercab_thumbnail.jp g" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="/gallery/ac-schnitzer-mini-cooper-s-cabrio/2059471/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/06/04-schnitzercab_thumbnail.jp g" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="/gallery/ac-schnitzer-mini-cooper-s-cabrio/2059472/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/06/05-schnitzercab_thumbnail.jp g" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br />[Source: AC Schnitzer]<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/06/04/little-schnitzer-german-tuner-tweaks-the-mini-cabrio/">Little Schnitzer: German tuner tweaks the Mini Cabrio</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Thu, 04 Jun 2009 12:57:00 EST.
