The Suez Canal broke out 1956, and the oil crisis enveloped Britain. The British car company hired Issigonis, a famous car designer. At that time, large cars were popular in Britain, but he obviously needed an economical car and asked the company to design it completely according to his idea, otherwise he wouldn't do it, and his request was quickly approved. Mini finally appeared in the autumn of 1959. People see that the 3.9-meter-long body has only four suitable seats, which are driven horizontally by the front wheel of the engine, omitting the transmission shaft, and the transmission is installed under the engine. Issigonis concentrated all the machinery in places where people didn't need it, between the two front wheels and under the back seat floor. Its mystery lies in the clever distribution of the center of gravity and the appropriate wheelbase and track. Since 1962, Mini has participated in various racing competitions and won many championships, such as 1962 Dutch Rally Championship, three Monte Carlo Championships and 1979 British Salon Championship, and won numerous all-weather racing championships. The racer thinks this car has incredible handling and road adhesion.
1988, Mr. Mo, an outstanding contemporary automobile designer, passed away. But his Mini worked miracles. The wheels of this car are only 25.4 cm, and the backward iron engine is much less powerful than other cars. How can you leave Porsche, Regal and Ford behind in the competition? The secret of Mini comes from technical advantages: ingenious center of gravity distribution, suitable wheelbase and track. Due to the dull appearance, many people tried to change this car into a "modern style" and improve its original design, but the results were unsuccessful. This is because Issigonis has carefully considered the design of mini-cars from the very beginning, which is self-contained.
But it is precisely because of its plain and lovely appearance and excellent performance that it has won the favor and love of many people and become a private car of all grades. First of all, people who fall in love with mini-cars are some middle-class fashionistas in London and Europe. Many celebrities use it as a toy to drive around the city. At the same time, this cheap and economical car has become the private car of many ordinary people.
The name Mini has even become a word in people's lives, and it has become synonymous with micro and pocket. Chinese transliteration "mini" is used in many commodities, such as miniskirts and mini speakers, but many people don't know that "mini" comes from the name of a car. This is also the only car name in the world that is used as a noun in life.
Mini used to belong to Rover Motor Company. In 2000, Rover's Mini operation right will be handed over to BMW. After adjustment, at present, Mini only keeps two models: 1.3 liter and Cooper, and is equipped with negative airbag devices for driving. In its 40-year career, it has produced more than 5.4 million cars, making it the best single-brand car sales record in Britain.
The old MINI was born in Britain, representing the imprint of social and historical changes in the 1960s. It is exquisite, interesting, inspiring and free, and it is one of the symbols of Britain in the 1960s. 1994, German BMW Group took over from its original manufacturer Rover, and devoted itself to the improvement of mini-cars. The birth of the brand-new MINI represents high-tech content, high-level production technology, outstanding product functions and strong brand image. Although there will be three versions of the new MINI, the specifications of the engine are the same, all of which are 1.6 liter and 4 cylinders. With the MINI COOPER entering the China market, we have the opportunity to experience this classic car with a legendary history of 40 years and a high reputation in the world.
Appearance:
MINI's design is simple and powerful, and the classical color and fashion sense are preserved in her. The big and round headlights confirm the pure blood and style of her MINI family. All MINI models are double doors, and the maximum opening angle of the door can reach 80 degrees, which is convenient for entering and leaving the door and rear seats. The short and compact body, flat roof and weird taillights make it look very streamlined and dexterous. The front cover is made of a single metal plate and extends to the wheel arch, which is a masterpiece of design and engineering. The integrated design of headlights and hood is not only eye-catching and unique, but also shows a highly accurate production and assembly process. The MINI waistline on the side slowly rises backwards, showing a dynamic sideways, which obviously reflects the performance orientation of the car. The inclination angle of the front and rear windshields is designed to be very small, and the side window glass has almost no curvature. The skylight is very large, covering almost the whole roof, and the door is frameless. In order to protect the glass and reduce the discomfort of passengers' ears when closing the door, the side window glass will automatically drop a little when opening the door and automatically rise after closing the door. The quaint chrome-plated door handle will make people feel nostalgic when held.
Interior:
Walking into the driver's seat, an eye-catching white round dial is very eye-catching, located in the center of the instrument panel, which can electronically display information such as vehicle speed, fuel quantity, coolant and other functional status. This layout has been a typical feature of MINI since 1968. Under this concept, the control keys and comfortable function knobs of the new MINI are surrounded around, and various functions and displays in the car are displayed with comfortable orange lights. There are six small bar switches under the console, which are inherited from the original MINI. These switches are spring buttons, which will automatically spring back to their original state after use.
Power:
The test drive is a manual transmission. If you want to drive conveniently and smoothly, you can choose automatic transmission. If you want MINI to be more sporty, you can use the six-speed semi-automatic function. Its 1.6 liter displacement engine can output the maximum power of 85 kW/1 15 HP. It can accelerate the car from 0 to 100 km/h in10 second, and to 160km/h in more than 20 seconds, and the top speed can reach more than 200 km/h. In the linear accelerator test, the first gear can easily drag the car to 70km/h by hand, and the peak torque is already at 3000rpm. Downgrading to the third gear means overtaking and merging, full of power, just like a wild horse that has lost its rein, which is not easy for a car with a displacement of1.6L. ..
Operation:
Many people are familiar with BMW's slogan, "Happy driving". This is a description of all BMW cars. The core concept of BMW is "fun", from appearance design to vehicle performance to design positioning of every technical detail. Although MINI is the most petite car in BMW, its power, smooth control, precision and sensitivity, and dynamic stability are still outstanding. The new MINI has the maneuverability of the previous generation MINI similar to that of a small racing car, and it is more balanced and comfortable to drive. When winding around the pile at a speed of 50 km/h, the four wheels are tightly attached to the ground, making the tires creak and creak, but the body just doesn't slip. Holding the steering wheel, the tire tracking feeling is excellent, which makes the driver very confident and doesn't treat her as a 1.6 displacement car at all. MINI front suspension adopts single pin sliding column swing arm structure, and rear suspension adopts multi-link design. The front drive shaft with equal length ensures the balance of front wheel drive and steering response during cornering, acceleration and braking. MINI equipped with all-weather anti-skid stability control system+tracking device (ASC+T) and dynamic stability control system (DSC) is more easily associated with a small family car with racing performance.
