We’re now just a few weeks out from the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, and in the lead up to the event a number of automakers are starting to preview their cars and concepts set for debut. Just yesterday we saw Cadillac tease its new 2014 ELR as well as BMW announce its full Detroit lineup, and now it’s MINI’s turn.

The 2013 Veloster Turbo is promising a lot more driving enjoyment to match what's already a very exciting package. Under the hood is a new turbocharged version of the company's 'Gamma' 1.6-liter, direct-injection four-cylinder engine—that's the same engine that's in the Veloster and Accent—but here it's fitted with a twin-scroll turbocharger and pumps out 201 horsepower, along with a lot more torque that should be accessible at much lower revs. That should not only make the Veloster a blast to drive, but it should remedy the lack of low-rev torque that we've found in the non-turbo...
