By Jack Rix. Meet the sensational new MINI Coupé! Exactly 50 years after the original Mini made its debut - on 26 August 1959 - the British firm is set to reveal its most forward-thinking model to date.
The car will make its debut at next month's Frankfurt Motor Show, but Auto Express has all the images and details on the latest homegrown hero after being allowed up close for exclusive access to the new car.
Taking the shape of a sporty two-seater, the MINI Coupé Concept is a vision of things to come as it looks to compete with the Mazda MX-5 Roadster Coupé, Audi TT and the Peugeot RC Z unveiled in last week's issue. Blending styling cues from the past, present and future, the new MINI's remit is simple; to broaden the appeal beyond the hatchback, Convertible and Clubman.
And with its light weight and low centre of gravity, it promises to be the most driver-oriented roadgoing MINI ever. The familiar front end is borrowed from the four-seater hatchback, but incorporates a number of unique touches to set it apart.

Is the new Citroën DS3 your bag? Wraps come off trendy new hot hatch, Here's our first official look at the small car that opens a big new chapter for
Citroën - and what's more, the line-up will be headed by a hot 150bhp 1.6-litre turbocharged version. This is the DS3 - a luxury supermini which revives the legendary DS badge and spearheads a fresh premium range for the French firm. It features a wide selection of engines - including that turbo flagship - and personalisation options, and is intended to compete head-on with the MINI, but will also battle the Alfa Romeo MiTo and Audi A1. One of the most eagerly awaited
Citroëns since the original 1959 DS, it is hoping to carry on its successor's legacy - and this striking car is certain to stand out on the high street. First seen in concept form in February, the showroom version retains that model's distinctive face thanks to bold headlights and a trapezoidal grille. The latter is the only detail to have been updated - instead of a complete chrome outline, it's now split by a central strip. On the nose sits a DS badge, which comprises a rearranged version of the
Citroën's new double chevron motif. Other details which have been carried over include the circular spotlights complete with LEDs ahead of the front wheel arches and the reverse-angled B-pillar, which kicks off above the arch and finishes just short of the 'floating' roof. More in AutoExpress. |
