MINI Sport Coupe Rendering



Now here’s a nice idea that we wouldn’t mind at all seeing materialized by the BMW Group; a MINI Sports Coupe. It won’t cost the Bavarian carmaker a fortune to develop and we firmly believe that there’s a market for an affordable compact coupe with character on both sides of the Atlantic. MINI could also build a lightweight John Cooper Works version with over 200 Hp.

The only downside compared to the hatch would be the obliteration of the rear seats but really, who buys a MINI for its seating capabilities? Plus, you’d get more luggage space and MINI could even make a speedster version of the car. The more we think about it, the more we like this idea from the guys at CWW.

Re: MINI Sport Coupe Rendering

I actually kind of like it... looks like a cross between Mini and a Porsche.

Guess I'm alone in thinking this design has some potential

By potential if you mean putting mini's headlamps onto a cayman...sure, why not. But why wait for mini to do that? I'm sure there are enough "tuners" out there who'd do that for you, LOL.
