the much talked about peugeot engine going in the MINI, as i suspected wont be the 206 gti 180 engine at all.. but a new wizbang turbo charged unit.. well lots of wizbang technology i guess compared to the single cam slogger we have atm but a little tame at 170hp i thought

nice. Its good to see them using more up to date technology like variable valve timming etc, not just the turbo.

Id like one of these in AWD Roadster form :)
