Mini Coupé Concept car: showroom bound in 2011

By Tim Swietochowski First Official Pictures 26 August 2009 09:00 Revealed 50 years to the day since the launch of the classic original Mini, this is the stunning Mini Coupé Concept, which CAR expects to enter production in 2011.

Gerry McGovern, Land Rover Design Director and Chief Creative Officer, explains: "Great design is the gateway to customer desirability, it's about making that personal connection.
