The new MINI Coupé is an amazing car with agility unmatched in the small car segment, along with a unique body and interior concept, and premium levels of quality and equipment. The first two-seater in its line-up, the new MINI is a great addition 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 optimum performance. The new MINI radiates the brand’s hallmark go-kart feeling with a whole new depth of intensity, all while achieving great performance statistics.
The MINI Coupé comes in three models: the standard MINI Coupé with 90 kW, 160 Nm, 0–100 km/h in 9.0 seconds, and a top speed of 204 km/h; the MINI Cooper S Coupé with 135 kW, 240 Nm, 0–100 km/h in 6.9 seconds, and a top speed of 230 km/h; and then the MINI John Cooper Works Coupé – a thoroughbred athlete producing 155 kW with 260 Nm, 0–100 km/h in 6.4 seconds and a top speed of 240 km/h. The range comes with a six-speed manual gearbox fitted as standard and the six-speed automatic as optional for the MINI Cooper S Coupé and the MINI Cooper Coupé.
The chassis quality is unmatched in the small car segment and it has precise Electric Power Steering, a standard-fitted DSC stability control system, powerful brakes and measures that are designed specifically to optimise torsional rigidity to ensure the MINI Coupé driver can enjoy the ultimate in go-kart feeling.
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, extending automatically at 80 km/h. Helped by its high-opening tailgate and decent luggage area with through-loading facility, the MINI Coupé displays versatility in day-to-day driving, when transporting leisure items or sports gear, and on trips.
