In their official media release MINI says the Vision, “previews a sampling of visionary design and innovative […]
The next-generation MINI is getting closer to its late-2013 launch and heavily disguised Cooper S (above) and Cooper (below) models have been spied in Germany.

If only this was a photo of a MINI in a Halloween costume. Alas it is a genuine four-door MINI hardtop, codenamed F55 and possibly called the Traveller. It’s based on the third-gen F56 platform and is scheduled for release shortly after the next-gen two-door MINI. The F55 has shorter front doors to make room […]

Images of the new F56 MINI hatch have been published by World Car Fans, but if you want the skinny on what’s what with the new MINI, best to rely on specialist website MotoringFile. If you check out all the pics on WCF you may notice a regular BMW looking dash internally. According to MF, […]

Included in the test were (ranked in finishing order): Volkswagen Golf R Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Audi RS4 Avant Nissan GT-R […]
Here at AUSmotive, despite generally being big fans of all things MINI, we think the F56 is, well, a little bit ugly. Over time we expect our dissatisfaction with its design will fade, but right now, we think those lower air intakes at the front of the Cooper S are just ghastly. Over in Germany, […]
On the eve of the launch of the all-new F56 MINI we bring you this very cool story about a 1959 Austin Seven restoration project.

It could even wear an X1 […]
