BMW decided to release specification and additional photos with the upcoming MINI Coupe, even though there’s still plenty of time left until the official unveiling will take place at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show in September.
Even though the coupe’s rear section and the roof are still wrapped up in ‘mistery’ due to swirly, black and white camo, BMW says this new two-seater model from MINI will feature an integral roof spoiler and and an active rear spoiler, in addition to already visible features like sporty looking bumpers, side sills and wheel arches.
Once it will hit the market, customers will be able to equip their MINI Coupe with the most powerful engines found in the brand’s arsenal, and according to the automaker, these will include a 1.6-litre naturally aspirated petrol developing 122 HP (90 kW) and a 1.6-litre turbo plant which also runs on petrol, producing either 184 HP (135 kW) or 211 HP (155 kW).
The MINI Coupe will also be available with a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder diesel in certain markets, and for those who will chose this kind of motorisation the power level on their car will reach 143 HP while consumption figures will be of 4.3-litres per 100 Km (54.7 US mpg).
The MINI Coupe price is expected to be announced towards the end of 2011 when the car is most probably going to arrive in dealerships.
