The new Mini Coupe was previewed by the Coupe Concept that Mini unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show and it is based on the Mini Cabriolet. However, unlike the cabriolet, the Coupe offers just two seats on the inside, so customers can enjoy increased trunk space when compared to the Mini Cabriolet.
Despite being a tiny city car and the Gran Turismo-styled rear end, the 2014 Coupe will be intimately distinguished as a Mini model, thanks to its standard headlights and grille.
As with the previous model years, customers can choose between three different versions: Cooper, Cooper S and John Cooper Works.
The 2014 Mini Coupe will offer the usual design elements we are seeing in all the other Mini models. These elements include a hexagonal contoured grille, large circular headlights, a black border around the lower part of the body, plus numerous chrome strips and surrounds. Also, just like on any other Mini model, the positioning lights and fog lamps are located in the front apron.
However, unlike all the other Mini models, the Coupe will be the first model to feature a three-box body structure: engine compartment, passenger compartment and boot.
The most distinctive feature of the Coupe is a prominent and innovative "helmet roof," which gives the model a sportier look that the rest of the Mini lineup. Mini also installed an active rear spoiler – a first for the brand - which pops up automatically when the Coupe hits a speed of 50 mph. It goes back to its resting position when speed gets down to 37 mph.
For the exterior, customers can choose between nine different colors combined with three contrasting colors for the roof: Jet Black, Pure Silver and Chili Red.
