All of which means the power of the MINI Cooper S Roadster from 0 to 100 km h (62 mph) in 7.0 seconds en route to a top speed of 227 km h (141 mph). These figures contrast with the performance of fuel consumption on average in the EU test cycle of 6.0 liters per 100 kilometers (47.1 mpg imp) and CO2 emissions of 139 grams per kilometer.




Besides MINI Cooper Roadster is the entry point that is very much alive in the Roadster line-up. 1.6-liter four-cylinder engines offer variable valve control system based entirely on Valvetronic technology used in BMW engines which sharpens the engine response yet also lowers fuel consumption and emissions. With increased output by 90 kW 122 hp at 6,000 rpm and maximum torque of 160 Newton meters (118 lb-ft) at 4250 rpm produced, the MINI Cooper powerplant accelerates the Roadster from 0 to 100 km h (62 mph) in 9.2 seconds and at a top speed of 199 km h (124 mph).
