Do you want to know why Porsche denied racing Mini at Road Atlanta? Well, it's because they received details on the facelift version of the Mini Cooper->ke629 and they were not impressed!

While the changes are pretty much unnoticeable they include revised head lights and tail lights (LED), new exterior colors, and new packages for the interior. Oh yes and an updated engine. The 1.6 liter delivers an extra 2 HP (wow!) and according to first details it offers a 3% fuel savings thanks to the addition of a new map regulated oil pump.

If you are interested, stay tuned for more details, the official debut is imminent!
