Mini Roadster specifications

Mini has confirmed pricing and specifications for its new Roadster, which is due in UK dealer showrooms next spring.

Unlike the existing Mini Convertible, the Roadster is strictly a two-seater, although it does boast a reasonable 240 litre luggage capacity.

All versions are to carry the Cooper nameplate and, for the UK at least, operation of the fabric roof will be semi-automatic.

Standard equipment includes a rear spoiler that automatically rises at 50 mph (80 km/h) and retracts at 37 mph (60 km/h), stainless steel rollover bars, rear park distance control and a Sport button on the dashboard that sharpens both the steering and throttle responses.

Among the various fuel saving features are an automatic start-stop system, brake energy regeneration and electric power-assisted steering.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Image
The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
