Why? the last thing needed in this rolling death trap is more power.
Another car that doesn't need more power due to balance of power to chassis and in this particular case, the inherent power delivery issues of FWD.
The normal Mini is much more fun to drive on the track then the 'S' model. Extra power is good in the straights but a hand full in the twisties, detracting from the sport driving experience and compromising finesse.
