PS: hmm, 195bhp is a good idea, I'll do w/o the stickers, diffusers and wheels, thanks. |
"Apart from the Hamann CS1 tune-up to 195 hp and a sports exhaust system, the range contains sporty designed body styling , a coil-over suspension, multi-piece 18-inch light alloy wheels and accessories for the cockpit.
The engine development department upgrades the mechanically supercharged 1.6 litre engine using a special supercharger drive, a modified air induction and a recalibrated ECU. Maximum torque grows from 210 Nm to 251 Nm.
The Hamann sports rear silencer with two central stainless steel tips not only make an earthy sound, but also optimise power output.
Hamann offers extra hanlding with a height-adjustable coil-over suspension and 18-inch wheels and tyres. The stiffer set-up sports chassis lowers the car by up to 50 millimetres front and 30 millimetres on the rear axle. The progressive springs and the stiffer shock absorbers of the coil-over suspension improve the handling of the Cooper S. "
