Interesting looks, though it should be a cracking bit of kit. A GP version of this would be something else!
I was going to say it's not very practical, but I never really took anyone in the back of mine anyway so would probably have got away with it.
If they go a bit mental with this (Challenge bits as rumoured, over 230bhp stock), this may be the one reason to tempt me away from R53's. For the money they'll charge though, a lightly used 135 may be a better bet - lots of scope for power with one of them
As we have seen before, it is just truely stunning!!!
Yes, it is very tempting. I can live without rear seats but I would need to be able to get my golf clubs in the boot somehow.
Want!!!
What you have seen so far is 75% true to final production.
The lights should be interesting and the different front and rear aprons. ;)
This is all a bit 'old hat' or with the roof design (which I still think looks a WEE bit awkward) - 'Old Baseball Cap'. There have been loads of Coupe pics floating around for ages.
Overall, despite my roofline reservations (hopefully the roof can be specified in something other than Silver...), I like it and I'm sure it'll be a cracking drive, but it'll probably come at a not-so-cracking price.
I don't even think you'd need a 'GP' version - with the weight-saving, chassis dynamics and the 'cooking' JCW engine (which, if required, is shooty-in to get wads of power from), it could arguably be the most accomplished MINI yet, but I wonder if MINI would dare spec it with non-runflats as they do with their 'M' cars for that 'ultimate driving machine' status? Or will they still play safe... unless of course you're on a greasy lumpy road.
Yep, agree with the Elfmeister, i likey the coupe
