The first two-seater in its current line-up sees MINI not only breathing new life into its successful racing history but also provide a shot in the arm for the super-compact sports car class. The selection of engines, chassis set-up, weight distribution and aerodynamic properties of the MINI Coupé are all focused on delivering optimum performance, according to parent company BMW.
Look for this new head-turner to show up in MINI dealers in the Bay Area in the Fall, and on the road around San Jose shortly thereafter.
The MINI Coupé is nearly two inches lower than a standard Mini Cooper, further emphasized by the sharply raked windshield and A-pillar. The roof-mounted spoiler adds to make the design significantly more aggressive than the standard model.
The MINI Coupé can be ordered with a range of engines, from the base 112 HP model right through a screaming 211 HP monster in the John Cooper Works edition.
