Small Worlds Get Bigger

2012 Mini Cooper D

Since BMW owns Mini, and BMW has gone into the diesel phase, Mini didn't think it was all bad to join them. So, behind closed doors, they worked on creating the first-ever diesel-powered Cooper. And, to our surprise, they've done it. We don't know what it looks like, but the picture you see above is its marking. The Cooper D will make its official debut in Geneva in March. Not much else has been said about this car except that it will feature a 2.0-liter Turbodiesel engine producing 143 horsepower with 225 lb.-ft. of torque making it one powerful Mini. Let's hope this diesel does great things when it launches later this year. That's another Cooper to add to the new Mini family.
