Blog: Underwhelmed by the Mini Coupe Concept
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.
