The Mini Coupe concept was revealed last week and it will be launched alongside an open-top Mini Roadster version at the Frankfurt motor show next month.

Speaking at Mini’s 50th birthday celebrations, von Hooydonk claimed the concepts could offer a glimpse into future small BMW coupe and roasters.

The designer said: “The Coupe and Roadster models could conceivably stand on their own within BMW Group, but there is certainly a chance for BMW to share in it.”

A BMW Z2 has long been rumoured and the Coupe/Roadster could be used to underpin this.
