Michael SatterfieldTeam Stradale has secured the rights to import the classic Mini Cooper as reimagined by Z Car a UK tuning firm that builds a 300hp mid-engine version of the giant-killing icon. Serious engineering has been put into the development of these Mini Coopers. Outboard suspension, increased engine output, Quaife LSD transmission internals, and integrated safety equipment are part of just a few improvements that put these Minis above the rest. Beyond that, Z Cars are made to be easy to live with. Company boss David Rose knows who will be a buyer in the North American market, specifically automotive country club members. “There’s a keen focus on user-friendliness… with the idea that owning a radically modified machine shouldn’t bring with it compromises or complexities of ownership,” he notes. Air conditioning? Cruise control? These options and more are available for your mid-engine Mini.
Team Stradale Brings Modern Power To The Classic Mini
Powered by a Ford EcoBoost 1.6 liter turbocharged engine, placed in the middle, driving the rear wheels completely changes the driving dynamics of the classic Mini. This combination brings a new level of fun to an already enjoyable car making it well worth learning how to make an online money transfer in four easy steps for an overseas purchase. Each car is hand-crafted with a wide array of options, including exterior trim, paint, and a wide selection of interior colors.
The base price for a car in the Team Stradale preferred trim which includes an EcoBoost 1.6 starts at approximately $69,900. But it looks like the sky is the limit when it comes to ordering a bespoke car. Team Stradale does have demos are available to drive at their Autobahn Country Club facility in Joliet, IL.
