Top speed is 237 km/h (147 mph). Added to which, with average fuel consumption in the EU test cycle of 7.3 litres per 100 kilometres (38.7 mpg imp) and CO2 emissions of 169 grams per kilometre, the MINI John Cooper Works Roadster boasts extraordinary efficiency for an open-top car in this output class.
Lead in terms of torque and economy, the 2.0-liter diesel MINI TwinPower turbo under the hood of the MINI Cooper SD Roadster is the perfect complement to the range of gasoline engines.
