The expansion of the MINI family marches forward relentlessly, but while the area grows usually with more body styles, is the latest addition to configurations with a new engine to transcend.
Although it probably will not be offered Stateside, has the rumor that Mini is preparing for a new heavy-duty diesel engine at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show, started in March. The cars are equipped with it reportedly transferred to the SD-name (a combination of S from the top-spec petrol engine with the D from the existing diesel).
Details are not yet known, but reports that it could be a 2.0-liter turbo diesel with 143 HP and up 225 lb-ft of torque. The torque figure would exceed strongly the moments of any of the existing mini-motors produced - even the JCW on overboost.
