…..The 2011 Mini Speedster!!

June 24, 2009

Feast your eyes on the fastest and most desirable Mini ever!  This Triumph cousin is ‘the Speedster’ - head turning two seater drop-top that will combine dramatic looks with sizzling performance.  Rumours have been circulating for a number of years about the Speedster in Europe, which will rival the next-generation Mazda MX-5, as well as Honda’s upcoming CRZ.  To give the Speedster it’s own unique identity and sports car looks, the standard Convertible’s impractical rear seats have been ditched.  By making it a strict two-seater, the engineers have created more interior room and boot space.  A lower and wider stance and oversize wheel arches make up the car’s classic roadster proportions.  But the split front grill, familiar bonnet scoop and chrome-rimmed tail-lights, as well as the twin central exhaust, ensure it’s unmistakably a MINI!  So get ready to cash in those CD’s and drive a ‘Speedster’ to the 30th Annual Wickham Park Show!
