Mini introduces the ‘Speedster’

The eye-catching two seater convertible is said to combine dramatic looks with sizzling performance in what Mini believe will put it in place to challenge Mazda's long time favourite, the MX-5 and Honda's upcoming CRZ.
The Speedster will use the same platform as the Mini Cabrio but will have its own identity by being offered strictly as a two-pew convertible.

With increased boot space, electric folding soft-top, distinctive roll hoops, oversized wheelarches, and a lower, wider stance, the Speedster boasts classic roadster proportions whilst remaining unmistakably Mini.

Rumour has it a John Cooper Works model will also be available.

Pricing and availability are yet to be announced.
