Official Details and Photos – MINI Coupe

In celebration of MINI’s 50th anniversary this year, MINI has revealed the two new cars in its fleet: the MINI Coupe and Roadster, also known as the ‘Oxford Twins’. The nickname was taken from the factory where they are to be produced. Though these cars remain to be design studies, they are also production ready examples. The Oxford Twins clearly takes MINI into an entirely new direction in terms of style and functionality. Here are more details and photos of one of the twins, the MINI Coupe:

Highlights:

*Newest vehicle in the MINI Lineup featuring “helmet roof” design and sharply raked A-pillars. Hallmark MINI styling DNA remains. Wrap-around glass areas and superimposed roof; characteristic design principles and exclusive MINI details underline its brand identity
*First “three-box” MINI with strikingly stepped rear end in the classic style of a gran turismo; sporty, flat coupé silhouette;
Sits up to 52 millimetres lower than the MINI
*First MINI with an active rear spoiler to optimise airflow at higher speeds; rear spoiler extends automatically at 80 km/h (50 mph)
MINI John Cooper Works Coupé with John Cooper Works aerodynamic kit as standard
*Roof in contrasting colour as standard; new interpretation of the optional Sport stripes in the same contrasting colour on the bonnet, boot lid and rear apron, and in body colour on the roof
*Electric Power Steering and DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) as standard, DTC (Dynamic Traction Control) with EDLC (Electronic Differential Lock Control) optional (standard on MINI John Cooper Works Coupé)
*Sports seats fitted as standard (MINI Cooper S Coupé, MINI Cooper SD Coupé, MINI John Cooper Works Coupé)
*Oval recesses in the roof liner provide extra headroom for the driver and front passenger
*Anthracite roof liner as standard
