To celebrate the victory of the Equipe Arden 1969 at the British Touring Car Championship, Arden has created a heavily modified special edition Mini Equipe - the 40th Anniversary MINI Equipe 2009. The Arden MINI Cooper Equipe features 40 parts manufactured in a traditional manner, all of which will be signed by Jochen Arden. So each Arden MINI Equipe is unique, each piece a collector’s item.
In terms of styling, the Equipe gets a custom two-tone leather upholstery scheme throughout the cabin, including the doors and dash. Hand-stitched casings and handmade stainless steel and chrome elements adorn the car front to rear, including the redesigned grille. Extremely light 6.9 kilograms Arden Gram-light aluminum wheels in 8Jx18Zoll provide the necessary grip and reduce the vehicle weight by a few kilograms.
The engine also received a manual work-over. The revised engine electronics, a new intercooler and a complete stainless steel exhaust system with racing catalytic converters give the Arden MINI Cooper Equipe outputs around 40 PS and 50 Nm of torque more than the standard car.
To keep the performance on track, handling is improved as well. there is a special Arden sport suspension which lowers the vehicle’s height and focus for about 30mm. High-performance 6-piston brakes at the front axle, guarantee for the necessary delay and remain stable and dosable even after a long, hard and resistant strain.
The Arden Mini Equipe is available by special order now. It marks Arden's second attempt at a custom Mini Cooper. Source URL: http://carrevieeeew.blogspot.com/2009/06/arden-mini-cooper-equipe.html
