It's not really aimed at us, it's for, erm, younger people ::) I dont like it, but I'm sure BMW wont be too worried about that.

"As you can see, the two-seat newcomer is instantly familiar - but look at that roof! Built with purity of handling, style and vicious pace in mind, the Coupe Concept is based on the John Cooper Works version of the MINI, so it's powered by a 1.6-litre turbocharged engine generating 208bhp and a maximum of 206lb.ft of torque. "


208 bhp....got a bit of poke then ?

Ugliest car i think I have ever seen, and that is said despite the fact that we have owned 2 new MINI Coopers, the first of which was one of the first 1000 cars off the line at Cowley.....

How to ruin a nice car....by BMW.......
