The base engine is a 1.6L inline-4 capable of making 121 horsepower and 114 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 181 horsepower-making turbocharged version of the same engine offered in the S trim. Both engines offers a choice between two transmissions - a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic. The Cooper Coupe reaches 60 mph from zero in 8.3 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 6.5 seconds with the turbocharged engine. Depending on the powertrain, the Cooper Coupe can manage a combined fuel economy between 30 and 32 mpg. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 8 striking colors the Cooper Coupe comes in really pull you towards itself.
