"13.01.2010 Press Release Typical MINIMALISM: More output, more efficiency and more driving fun thanks to a thoroughly revised range of petrol engines for the MINI, MINI Clubman and MINI Convertible – All petrol MINI models meet the EU5 exhaust emissions standard – Market launch of the new MINI One Convertible and MINI One MINIMALISM Line in March 2010.
Munich. Performance, efficiency and driving fun – MINIMALISM offers more of everything. The MINI, MINI Clubman and MINI Convertible will line up in 2010 with an extensively revised range of petrol engines, a move that sees the MINI brand building consistently on its position as the world’s leading maker of inspiringly sporty and exceptionally economical premium small cars. At the same time, all petrol MINI models will meet the EU5 exhaust emissions standard in Europe and the ULEV II standard in the USA from spring 2010. A fresh addition to the model range is the new MINI One Convertible. Powered by a low-fuel consumption and low-emissions four-cylinder engine producing 72 kW/98 hp, the new model offers an extremely economical way to enjoy that typical MINI go-kart feeling in soft-top form.
Targeted powertrain modifications further enhance the relationship between performance and CO2 emissions in all petrol-engined MINI models. An outstanding example of the progress made is the MINI Cooper S, whose new 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine now develops 135 kW/184 hp (an increase of 7 kW) yet emits only 136 grams of CO2 per kilometre in the EU test cycle – 13 g/km less than its predecessor. The MINI Cooper and MINI One also take the balance of driving fun and CO2 emissions to another new level. The new MINI One MINIMALISM Line, available with two engine variants, has the lowest emissions values of any petrol MINI, using optimised engine technology, Brake Energy Regeneration, the Auto Start Stop function, Shift Point Display and other MINIMALISM measures to achieve a CO2 figure of 119 g/km.
The MINIMALISM concept covers all the technological measures in the current MINI line-up which help to further increase the driving fun typical of the brand at the same time as keeping both fuel economy and CO2 emissions as low as possible. In the new MINI petrol powerplants, measures such as reducing friction and improving heat management in the basic engine have enabled further improvements in efficiency. Added to which, the engines are now served by a map-controlled oil pump with need-based operation, which – in a similar way to the electromechanical power steering and further optimised coolant pump – ensures extremely efficient use of energy.
The MINI Cooper S: fully variable valve control delivers unbeatable efficiency in the 1.6-litre class"

Are they serious? Mini One with 1.6l engine and only 75/98hp? Others get more than 100hp from one litre engine!

Also if I recall correctly the Mini One had a 1.4lt engine?
 
Oh yes, I am right. Just checked the Mini website:

Mini One (1.4lt) 75hp @4500rpm, 120Nm @2500rpm, 5.3l/100km combined fuel consumption, 128g/km CO2, starting price 17.650€

Mini One (1.4lt) 95hp @6000rpm, 140Nm @4000rpm, 5.3l/100km combined fuel consumption, 128g/km CO2, starting price 18.800€

Why, oh why, did they make the engine bigger, yet with the same horsepower? Isn't a "big" 1.6lt engine considered a waste of fuel if it makes only 75hp?
 

MINI

Mini (stylized as MINI) is a British automotive brand founded in 1969, owned by German BMW since 2000, and used by them for a range of small cars assembled in the United Kingdom, Austria, and the Netherlands. The word Mini has been used in car model names since 1959, and in 1969 it became a brand in its own right when the name "Mini" replaced the separate "Austin Mini" and "Morris Mini" car model names.
