BMW has finally released all the details and images of the new 2009 MINI Cooper Cabrio. New MINI Cooper Cabrio will be offered with two versions, MINI Cooper Cabrio and MINI Cooper S Cabrio.

First one is powered by a naturally aspirated 1.6-liter four cylinder engine that has 120 hp at 6,000 rpm. Top speed is 123 mph (198 km/h), 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) comes in 9.8 seconds. Average fuel consumption is 6.1 liters/100 km (38.5 mpg).

Cooper S Cabrio is powered by the same 1.6-liter engine that has been equipped with a Twin-Scroll turbocharger and direct fuel injection. Power output is 175 hp at 5,500 rpm and the top speed is 138 mph (222 km/h). 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) comes in 7.4 seconds. Average fuel consumption is 7.2 liters/100 km (32 mpg).

From the start the MINI Cooper S Cabrio and the MINI Cooper Cabrio are available with a six-speed manual gearbox featured as standard or optional six-speed automatic transmission.

There are 12 highly attractive colour variants as well as new equipment features that add an additional touch of style and class. Automatic air conditioning with Cabrio mode is available for the first time that serves to provide a consistent set temperature under the influence of wind when the roof is opened. Also available is the seamless integration of external music players, a USB port and Bluetooth hands-free telephone system, suitably compatible with the Apple iPhone. And last but certainly not least the MINI Cabrio combines a supreme blend of quality materials and finishes to enhance the unique position of the MINI Cabrio.

The new MINI Convertible will make its world debut at the North American International Auto Show 2009 in Detroit. Orders however for the MINI Cabrio are being taken now; the price in Germany for the MINI Cooper Convertible is 22.500 € and for the MINI Cooper S Convertible 26.500 €. Delivery of the first MINI Convertibles will begin on 28 March 2009.
