Romeo Ferraris has created a special tuning program that includes both mechanical and styling changes for the MINI Countryman. This program is dedicated to Italy and celebrates ‘150 years of unity’.
Apart from featuring a blue matte paint, the Romeo Ferraris Mini Countryman comes with a black background headlights, a black grille and black side frames, various badges and 19 inch OZ Racing II Ultralight alloys wrapped in Yokohama Advan Sport tires (size 225/40R19).
The roof has been painted in the same colour as the tuner’s 500 Abarth Chrome Anniversary, while the bonnet and the tailgate feature chrome racing stripes. Custom mirror caps featuring the Italian flag can also be added upon request.
At the interior the Romeo Ferraris Mini Countryman makes use of white leather with contrasting ice blue stitching and blue piping, the tuner’s logo embroidered on the headrests and the Italian flag highlighted on the back.
As far as mechanical upgrades, the Romeo Ferraris Mini Countryman conversion which applies to the Cooper S versions brings a remapped ECU, a custom intercooler and a sports exhaust system, all of which help the 1.6-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged unit from under the hood develop 43 HP and 88 Nm of torque more than what the stock unit offers.
The Romeo Ferraris Mini Countryman also comes with an adjustable suspension which can lower the car by up to 50 mm and upgraded brakes from Brembo featuring 328 mm perforated floating disks and 4 piston callipers.
