It seems that never a month goes by these days without MINI bringing out a new
model. Just when you think they can’t do any more with the idea, up pops
another one. Well, they’ve done it again. Under constant prodding from the
governments of this world and those scientists who believe that Armageddon is
just around the corner, MINI has produced an alternatively fuelled addition to
its range.
With buses running on chip fat and trucks running on gas, MINI’s idea
is rather more green and sustainable.
Earlier this morning MINI's scientists, engineers and product
designers unveiled the new MINI Cooper T - the world's first vehicle to be
powered by a tea-leaf biofuel composite.
This revolutionary new model, which is available in a variety of
colours including ‘Chamomile Yellow', ‘Red Bush' and ‘Earl Grey', is expected
to cause a real stir in the motor industry when it's served up later this
month.
Capable of covering up to 40 miles on a single cup, Cooper T
certainly isn't what you'd call thirsty. It boasts all the standard features
you would expect, such as VVT, ABS and DSC, but also benefits from DAT or Dunk
Avoidance Technology. This ingenious filtration system stops peckish owners and
opportunistic passersby from inserting biscuits into the MINI T's fuel tank in
order to moisten their snacks.
Head of Cooper T engineering, Dr. Ivana Kuppa, said, "This
particular project has been brewing for years. Our extensive research has shown
that the nation's favourite drink is also an ideal biofuel. We already know
good things come in small packages, but with Cooper T customers benefitting
from up to 40 miles per cup, we are delighted to have the opportunity to bring
this car to market."
