Our friends at Autoblog have what they believe are patent rendering of the final MINI Coupé and Roadster. While they are very close to final they are in reality simply patents of the concept cars shown last September in Frankfurt.

With help from our sources we can exclusively report that these renderings are nothing more than CG images of the concept that debuted last year. In fact the coupé has the wheels from a GP while the Roadster carries wheels from the R57 convertible. Both will ultimately feature unique body kits and wheels along with a couple new exterior and interior colors.

Production should start in the summer of 2011 for a fall introduction in most markets.
