mini cooper s (BMW)
In some markets, such as Australia and America, just the Mini Cooper and Mini Cooper S are sold because the MINI One's engine was considered to deliver insufficient power to run an air conditioning unit — air conditioning is essential in Australia and America due to the high temperatures. Almost 50% of all Minis sold in Australia and about 70% of those sold in America are the range topping Cooper S model.
 The names Cooper and Cooper S echo the names used for the sportier version of the classic Mini which in turn come from the involvement of John Cooper and the Cooper Car Company. The Cooper heritage is further emphasized with the John Cooper Works (JCW) range of tuning options that are available with the MINI. John Cooper also created a one-off racing model of the MINI Cooper S named the MINI Cooper S Works. This car features many extras which help to improve performance, such as a racing exhaust and air filter as well as uprated suspension. The car also has one-of-a-kind 17-inch racing wheels
