Awesome MINI Cooper SD Not For US

WorldCarFans.com has posted spy photos of an undisguised MINI Cooper SD, a convertible MCS diesel scheduled to be released next year that, unfortunately, will not be available in the US.

The article accompanyng the photo says that:

Power is likely provided by a 1.6-liter turbodiesel engine with upwards of 140 hp (104 kW / 142 PS). While it will be no match for the 184 hp (137 kW / 187 PS) Cooper S, the SD will outgun the 110 hp (112 PS / 82 kW) Cooper D and the 89 hp (90 PS / 66 kW) One D.
