Cooper C FWD vs 2008 PureTech 130 EAT8: chronicle of a drag race at 230 km/h
The launch: 0 to 100 km/h
Off the line, the Cooper C FWD hits 100 km/h in 7.70 s versus 9.72 s for the 2008 PureTech 130 EAT8. At this point, the Cooper C FWD leads by 2.02 s and sits roughly 23 m ahead.
From 100 km/h to 400 metres
At 200 metres, the Cooper C FWD is doing 122 km/h against 112 km/h for the 2008 PureTech 130 EAT8. The gap is 1.19 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Cooper C FWD crosses the line in 15.67 s versus 17.29 s. The 1.62 s gap represents roughly 62 m of track — a gap visible to the naked eye.
Beyond 400 metres: top speed comes into play
Past 400 metres, the Cooper C FWD continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 170 km/h versus 158 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Cooper C FWD finishes in 28.06 s versus 30.63 s, with a 2.57 s lead. Both vehicles have similar top speeds (230 vs 218 km/h), preventing any comeback.
What the numbers don’t tell you
With two combustion powertrains, the difference comes down to power-to-weight ratio (7.47 kg/hp vs 9.85 kg/hp) and transmission (Automatic vs Automatic).
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 14.95 seconds. The 2.02 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
MINI Cooper C FWD has a clear edge over the Peugeot 2008 PureTech 130 EAT8 to 100 km/h. This difference is clearly noticeable in spirited driving and widens on standing starts.
