Still sits on the same platform as the F56, will use the same engines as the F56, will be offered in a hardtop and softtop version. Sure sounds like the current low selling coupe/roadster combo it is suppose to replace.

 

Only 220 HP from the new JCW engine???

 

Ohhhhhh, me likey!!!


OK, so now I know I have to find a better job by then. I must have one.

 

So does this mean we may see this front end instead of the one we saw in the spy pics? I hope so.

 

Frigg'n Awesome! This just might be my wife's new ride.

 

Now that is cool!!!................

 

Not sure, just a rendering so it may or may not look like that. I do like the idea of a MINI sports car/roadster.

 

Cool "A Panel Vents"....

 

....really a nice look...they even toned down the fugly "fishmouth" of the F56. Any renderings of the hardtop?

 

Looks smashed down to me. It needs larger tail lights.

 

The steering wheel is on the wrong side

 

Given the projected 2015 or 2016 release date, I can always trade in my Roadster S within a year or two thereafter. New models don't necessarily shake me up if I thoroughly enjoy the existing model. I drive 6,000 miles or so per year, so my MINI should be in great shape when decision time nears.

 

I would definitely consider as long as they have a 2.0L in it.

 

I like it, smaller side scuttles are a big plus. Haha!! Never have understood why the current ones are so tall. Production car will not sit that low. It's high time they come out with higher HP engine for a "sports car" and their bigger cars in the line up. But I keep forgetting BMW needs to keep the MINI getting better and better MPG to help their cars with the Cafe or Carb or whatever it's called ..

 

That looks pretty decent... I would probably drive one, if the engine wasn't crap.

Now if they would throw that body on a 135i or 1M, rear drive and all, that would be a keeper!

 

Don't worry, I'm sure there will be a Z1 variant of this...

 

It looks ok, but sorry it will never happen.

I only say that because it looks too good to be true and the taillights are HUGE and the windshield is too high.

PS if it does not come in Chili Red who really cares. All sports cars have a red version.

 

I like it, I like blue, Dave you're right about the red thing, the back end looks a little MR2ish (MR tush?), big taillights are ok by me, the better to see me with...
