So the world debut of the MINI Roadster Concept at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show will add a new perspective to the future of the MINI brand. The Mini Roadster concept comes with two seater with a soft-top that advertises the fact that it will offer a go-kart feeling.
The Mini Roadster is powered by the 1.6-litre twin-scroll turbocharged engine from the MINI Cooper S which develops 128 kW/175 hp and 240 Nm of torque. The maximum torque of the Mini Roadster concept can be increased briefly with the Overboost function to 260 Nm of torque.
The Mini Roadster measures 3,714 millimeters (146.2″) in length and 1,683 millimeters (66.3″) in width and 1,356 millimeters tall.
The front end is the same as on the MINI Convertible all the way to the A-pillars, while the windscreen is strikingly low and raked to a greater angle. Particularly with the roof opened to the back, well as the innovative design of the rear end.
The exact date and pricing information have not been released yet.
