25 years earlier when Acura debuted its first generation NSX, it was a milestone in the automobile industry. The 1st-gen NSX has many new stuffs and technologies that people had never seen before at that time...

The 2015 Mini Countryman is a mid-cycle refresh model. No mechanical changes are made to the small SUV. Major feature changes/upgrades are:

– LED lighting (standard on the S and John Cooper Works);

– AWD model comes with underbody guard plate as standard (except JCW models)

– New infotainment system

– Exterior/interior tweaks (styling, layout, colors etc.)

Please note that the AWD version of Countryman (ALL4 system, as shown below), there is an electromagnetic multi-plate clutch to connect the front drive shaft to the rear wheels. This sytem’s default status is 50/50 split power distribution. Under the assumption that front and rear wheels are spinning at the same speed
