The Aceman is intended to close the gap between the three-door MINI Cooper and the larger MINI Countryman. It will initially be available as an entry-level model, the Aceman E, with 133 kW (181 hp) and 290 Nm of torque, and as an Aceman SE with 158 kW (215 hp) and 330 Nm, which shortens the 0-100 km/h time to 7.1 seconds.
