New Mini Cooper

The New Mini Cooper (stylized as NEW MINI COOPER in the game's vehicle selection screen) is a standard car in Midtown Madness 2, unlocked by completing five London Blitz events. In the game, it is significantly smaller than its real-life counterpart, and uses a particularly poor model. Also, it is actually slightly smaller than its predecessor, the Mini Cooper Classic. This car also makes an appearance in Midtown Madness 3 as the Cooper S model. In HQTM Team's Classic Madness mod, it is replaced with the French Citroën 2CV.

In-Game Description
"Like its predecessor, the New Mini Cooper is great for weaving in and out of traffic, around pedestrians, and down sidewalks!"

Details
The New Mini Cooper performs identically to the Mini Cooper Classic, only with quicker acceleration and a higher top speed. It is even faster and lighter than the VW New Beetle. However, the New Mini Cooper will struggle in later races, particularly when up against any of the muscle cars or sports cars. Even then, it can hold its own on tight, technical circuits.

History
The Mini Hatch (stylized as MINI Hatch, or MINI Hardtop in the US), also known as the Mini Cooper, Mini One, or simply the Mini, is a three-door hatchback first introduced in late 2000, being the first model launched under the Mini marque after the original Mini was discontinued in the same year. In some European markets, the Mini One was powered by a 1.4-litre (85 cu in) inline-four version of the Tritec engine, but all other gas/petrol powered Minis used the 1.6-litre (98 cu in) version.undefinedFrom 2004 through 2008, the soft-top convertible R52 was made.

Trivia

 * This is one of the two LHD cars to be unlocked in London, alongside the Panoz GTR-1, despite the fact that this car has British-styled license plates. However, a mod for an RHD dashboard view for this car was made by Sajmon14 and uploaded to MM2X and mm2m.tnb.pl.
 * On the vehicle selection screen, all the letters in the name of this car are capitalized, unlike other default vehicles. In the June 2000 beta, its name was not capitalized. This was corrected in the MM2 Revisited mod, however.
 * In the June 2000 beta of the game, this car had two fog lights on its grill, but for unknown reasons, they were later removed from it, thus they were cut from the final version of the game.
 * It is based on the then-upcoming production model launched in late 2000, although its showcase picture shows the 1997 concept.

MM1 Mod Version
There is an MM2-to-MM1 conversion of this car. It includes the original dashboard and sounds, appropriate tuning, MM1-style headlights (compatible with MM1 Revisited V3 mod), and nine paint jobs with all the beta paint jobs from MM2 Revisited V5 mod!
