Mini celebrates his birthday. Exactly 50 years ago, on August 26, 1959, the Classic Mini was first presented to the general public. That day an extraordinary story of successes began. A more than enough reason for Mini to put his point of view in the future, although always remembering his roots and tradition. For its Mini anniversary, it is performing many acts such as the presentation of the new mini coupé concept.
This vehicle demonstrates that the Mini design is able to give new life to the elementary values of the brand and, at the same time, take advantage of the possibilities offered by the modern technology of propellers and chassis, thus creating the foundations of a brilliant future for the brand. This new concept-car is a radically sports biplaza, which will be released in the International Motor Show in Frankfurt (IAA) between September 17 and 27, 2009. This car is a very promising anticipation of the future development of the brand's models range. And the common denominator that distinguishes all mini is once again the source of inspiration of a new proposal to enjoy behind the wheel. The Mini Coupé Concept represents the ideal of a car that has been conceived with the sole purpose of awakening enthusiasm and getting each trip to transform into a very special experience.
This concept-car concept has been conceived in such a way that it can carry the currently more powerful engine in the Mini range. With the Twin-Scroll-Turbo of 1,600 cc of the Mini John Cooper Works, this car acquires a frankly sports character. This tetracylindrical has a power of 155 kW/211 hp and a maximum torque of 260 Nm that, with the overboost function, can even become 280 nm. The Mini Coupé Concept equipped with this propeller offers everything necessary to overcome the benefits of the Mini John Cooper Works. In addition, this has been conceived according to the BMW Group Efficientdynamics Development Strategy. The Mini Coupé Concept allows you to enjoy more at the wheel contaminating less and, in addition, in an especially attractive way, well in accordance with what is understood by minimalism.
