Once again Mini is expanding its product line-up with
the launch of a model geared squarely to maximising driving fun. The two-seater Mini Coupé will
indulge the keen driver with a level of agility admired in the small car segment, along with a
unique body and interior concept. The first two-seater in its line-up sees Mini 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 Coupé are all focused on delivering performance.
As a result, the new car radiates the brand’s go-kart feeling with a whole new depth of intensity
and achieves the best performance statistics ever recorded by a volume-produced Mini.
The latest generation of four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines.
The Mini Coupé will be available with the most powerful petrol and diesel engines in the brand’s
arsenal. Outputs range from the 90 kW/122 hp of the Mini Cooper Coupé, to the Mini Cooper SD Coupé
(105 kW/143 hp) and Mini Cooper S Coupé (135 kW/184 hp), all the way up to the Mini John Cooper
Works Coupé, producing 155 kW/211 hp.

The ultimate in go-kart feeling.
The level of chassis quality gives the new Mini model the handling flair expected from the brand.
The precise Electric Power Steering, the standard-fitted DSC stability control system, powerful
brakes and measures designed specifically to optimise torsional rigidity ensure the Mini Coupé
driver can enjoy the ultimate in go-kart feeling.
Distinctive roof form, optimised aerodynamics, impressive storage space.
Its flat silhouette and innovative “helmet roof” lend the Mini Coupé a sporty and individual
allure. In addition to the integral roof spoiler, an active rear spoiler optimises airflow at higher
speeds. Helped by its extremely high-opening tailgate and large luggage area with through-loading
facility, the Mini Coupé displays outstanding versatility in day-to-day driving, when transporting
leisure items or sports gear, and on trips out with a lucky partner.
