Diesel gets sporty

Our spy photographers have managed to catch several new images of the MINI Cooper SD.

Spied undisguised, the SD is a Cooper S with a diesel engine. As you'd expect, it features a sport suspension, a ventilated hood, and a center-mounted dual exhaust system.

Power is likely provided by a 1.6-liter turbodiesel engine with upwards of 140 hp (104 kW / 142 PS). While it will be no match for the 184 hp (137 kW / 187 PS) Cooper S, the SD will outgun the 110 hp (112 PS / 82 kW) Cooper D and the 89 hp (90 PS / 66 kW) One D.

The model will be launched in 2011, so stay tuned for continuing coverage.

What's the torque for this engine? It might outgrunt the petrol Cooper S. But anyway, who could live with that Barbie interior?
