The following is a release from MINI Motorsport hinting at something… interesting. For more check back this Thursday.
Official Release: 146 and 147 – Remember these numbers, for over a hundred thousand eyes will be trained upon them as MINI competes in this weekend’s Nürburgring 24 Hour Race. Following their progress will surely pay off, for not only they are linked to a strong team with fast drivers, but to spectacular race cars, too. continued →
During the test drive of the MINI Coupe I had a chance to play investigate the various features of the new Coupe. It’s the first time a wing like this has shown up on any BMW product. And as cool as it looks, it was born out of functional need. The wing reduces lift on the rear axel by 40 kg or almost 90 pounds. It also helps reduce turbulence that is a by-product of the short rear window with air first flowing through the roof mounted spoiler onto the larger wing. continued →
The new MINI film you see above is a teaser for the launch of the new MINI Coupe and leads into a new MINI campaign; “Another Day. Another Adventure.†The film features driving scenes shot in Rio de Janeiro, Iceland and Hong Kong. continued →
You’ve read our review. Now it’s time to actually see the car. Behold the official MINI Coupe. MINI has taken the wraps off of the Coupe along with more official information and interior photos. Enjoy.
Official Release: MINI is expanding its product family with the launch of a model geared squarely to maximizing driving fun. The MINI Coupe indulges the keen driver with a level of agility unmatched in the small car segment, along with a unique body and interior concept and the brand’s customary commitment to premium levels of design, quality, equipment and personalization.
The first two-seater in its line-up sees MINI not only breathe 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 Coupe are all focused on delivering optimum performance. As a result, the new car radiates the brand’s hallmark go-kart feeling with a whole new depth of intensity and achieves the best performance statistics ever recorded by a volume-produced MINI… it is the fastest-accelerating MINI ever and has the highest top speed.
Today MINI has not only taken the wraps off of the new Coupe but also released final 2012 pricing. And yes that include all models of the Coupe. Full rundown after the break. continued →

Over the past month we’ve heard from several sources that MINI will release a five door version of the F56 hatch. The five door will reportedly come about a year after the standard three door is release in late 2012. Much like the Clubman but with doors on both sides MINI intends this new feature to help owners make better use of the space and for easier access to the rear seats. continued →
