The first shots of an almost undisguised MINI Coupe made to have the Web today, which means the official start of the production car can be far away. It could make even his debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month.
The MINI Coupe based on the attractive 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show concept car and is lucky to have changed very little from concept to production. Some images show an automatic rear spoiler, POPs the top with speed, Audi TT style.

Probably driven by the same 211bhp 6 liter turbo gasoline as John Cooper works Luke, sales should fall start, while the production version of the Roadster is expected in spring 2012.
