Mini Roadster Following Mini Coupe in Spring of 2012

Our man Takahashi has gone ahead and had his way with the press photos of the Mini Roadster by adding the details we've recently seen on the just released Mini Coupe. This gives us the closest view we're likely to have until official photos of the Mini Roadster are released. And this is something I can actually get behind. The Coupe, while offering what we hear is spectacular handling, is just goofy to me-- the Roadster could be a quirky, fun toy.

The Mini Roadster is expected in March or April of 2012 while the Coupe is set for a fall release with the same engines as the Coupe, highlighted by a 208-horsepower 1.6-liter turbo in the John Cooper Works edition.

New 2012 Mini Coupe JCW spied in Germany

The upcoming Mini Coupe JCW (John Cooper Works) has been recently spotted in Germany with just a bit of camouflage on, allowing us to see almost every inch of its body. The JCW will be the most powerful version in the Mini Coupe line-up and it’s easily distinguished by its aggressive body kit with muscular bumpers and wider wheel arches.

The Mini Coupe will be released on the market at the end of this year and, as predicted, the production model is almost the same as the concept which was revealed 2 years ago. The interior of the car ditches the hatchback’s model’s rear seat bench for a larger boot area that’s said to be around 250 liters.

The Mini Coupe JCW will use the company’s latest 1.6L twin scroll turbocharged engine that’s able to produce 211 HP and, besides this model, there will also be a Coupe S with 184 HP version of the 1.6L unit and a basic model with a naturally aspired 1.6L engine that’s able to produce 122 HP and maybe even a diesel version.

The world premiere of the production version of the MINI Coupe will probably be at the Frankfurt Motor Show this fall.

In the middle of a blizzard of environmental offer, which is added to most cars' moving seemingly on a daily basis, it is very refreshing to see a car that offers exceptional modesty does not make sense to add an extension of its stupid name like.
Mini One D is a lower powered version of its new 1.6-liter diesel engine, the former BMW-PSA sources replace oil burner in the Mini area 89bhp and £ 159 m of torque produced.

Mini One 1.6D:Its character is very much in keeping with any Mini petrol engine

These outputs are competitive, but the new diesel engine is the most impressive statistics of its 74.3mpg combined fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of just 99g/km, a figure that rivals such as DS3, even Citroen, Audi A1, and the Fiat 500 could be measured. Interestingly, however, D'economy and CO2 emissions are no better than the 110 horsepower Cooper D Hatch - in fact they are identical.

Despite lower production, to D Fortunately, avoiding the frustrated driver and his character is much in line with all mini gasoline engine - which means that the vowel (usually a good way) and reassuringly linear in its power.

As a result, the D drive as much fun as one of the lower-powered petrol Minis -. And more comfortable than many due to a hotter version of a reasonable size 16 "wheel you can control with the same fervor as his brothers, but with the knowledge that they can cover 650 miles or more between fill.
Even this relatively modest spec, the Mini is not cheap at £ 14,175 and is expected to be more modest than Q. Cooper How can it be that the main reason for this choice more than Cooper D £ 1,555 you can save on costs. Regardless, you get the charm of the Mini (and all the traditional faults) with leading performance thrown in.
