  • MINI Roadster Coming Soon? [Spy Video]

    So while the likes of DSquared2 are tarting up the MINI Countryman (here), I see they are looking at launching a MINI Roadster quite soon. I couldn’t get confirmation from MINI SA about this, let alone when they will be bringing them to SA. But if they do…. Mmm mm! We got hold of a video from Motoringfile.com (via CAR Magazine), which appears to sow a MINI Roadster testing on a racing track. Follow the link to check it out:

    This, from Motoringfile.com:

    As MINI gears up for the Coupe launch late this summer the engineers in Munich are turning their attention to the Roadster. The MINI Roadster (like the coupe based on the R57 Convertible platform) is in the suspension testing stage and will soon move to final engineering.

    Thanks to sources we also know that initial Roadster prototype production has begun at the Oxford plant. Early prototypes are built by hand in Munich before ‘alpha’ production moves to the plant closer to launch. Check back tomorrow for another little nugget we’ve picked up from inside sources.

    Look for the Roadster to make it’s public debut at next year’s Geneva Motor Show and be at dealers later in the spring.

    More here.

    Umm… yes please!
