MINI Roadster will debut in Frankfurt

MINI will unveil an amazing new roadster at the Frankfurt Show in September. The model, which has no official name as yet, will be very near to production-ready when it hits the show stand in Germany.

It will be even more sporty and driver-focussed than the MINI Cabriolet, offering sharper handling by way of a lower offline and lower centre of gravity.

The newcomer swells the MINI line-up to five confirmed models, including the hatch, Clubman and Convertible currently on sale, as well as the forthcoming 'Crossman' 4x4, due to appear in 2010.

The Roadster model line-up will stick with the current setup, with MINI likely to utilise the same engine strategy as it did with the Convertible: offering range-topping Cooper S and JCW versions first, before rolling out lesser variants later on.
