The Mini Roadster is a two-seater convertible car from the British brand Mini. It is manufactured by BMW. The Mini Roadster is the sporty convertible version of the Mini Coupé. This version was released a year later, in 2012. As was the case with the Coupe, Mini discontinued its production in 2015.
This convertible version of the Mini Coupe went on sale in 2012, although they were both presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2009. The Mini Roadster was sold with gasoline engines, although in some markets (such as Europe), 2-liter diesel variants were also offered.
Depending on the market, the Roadster’s soft top could be controlled manually or automatically. The electronic hood version operated by means of a lever located on the rearview mirror. Unlike the Mini Cabrio R57, this model keeps the hood just behind the driver, and is flat, while in the other model, it is collected above the trunk, leaving part visible. The hood of this Mini could not be customized, being the black color the only possible option.
It also had several versions, called Mini Cooper Roadster S and Mini Cooper Roadster John Cooper Works, which was the most radical variant.
