With the coupe version (which is already being tested by Car+Speed, the Mini Roadster is also coming, which is a serious contender for the title of most enjoyable small car, but it doesn't give you the unique feeling of freedom of an open model.
With the new Mini Roadster, however, the Germans claim that they have created a car that primarily appeals to the driving emotion.
The new model is the sixth in the Mini range and the first two-seater in the brand's history. Its dimensions are similar to those of the Mini Cabrio, but its windshield is more vertical (against 13 degrees) and its distance from the ground less (against 20 mm). also, has different settings on the chassis, improved stiffness, better aerodynamic coefficient and naturally lower center of gravity.
also, the absence of a rear seat has almost doubled the available luggage space (240 lt).
The Mini Roadster will be available in four versions:
– Cooper, with engine 1,6 lt me 122 PS
– Cooper SD, with diesel engine 2,0 lt performance 143 PS
– Cooper S, with engine 1,6 lt of maximum power 184 PS
– John Cooper Works, with a mechanical set 1,6 lt which has maximum efficiency 211 PS
The Mini Roadster's engines will be mated to a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic (except for JCW).
