BMW is readying the next generation of Mini, codenamed F56 and due to be shown in late 2013, probably at the Frankfurt motor show. CAR magazine's spy photographers caught the new Mini Mk3 on test at the Nurburgring in Germany today. Mini is preparing a whole family of newcomers, as we've previously outlined in our earlier new Mini scoops. But ...

Mini is about to launch the third-generation of the Mini hatchback which has proved so successful since BMW remixed the British brand in 2001. It's not the last of the current Mini family. In 2013, Mini will launch one final model to complement the hatch, Convertible, Clubman estate, Coupe and Roadster: the Paceman coupé inspired, in essence, by the BMW ...

Now that the Mini Coupe has been officially unveiled, interest has turned to the Mini Roadster. Our latest spy photos show the soft-top two-seater with its roof up, with BMW's usual camouflage sheeting applied. The spy photos give us a clear photo of the soft-top roof, although the Roadster's bootlid remains under wraps. The Mini Roadster's curving side windows integrate ...

Last week we reported the specification levels of the 2011 Mini Coupe. BMW was kind enough to supply photos of the car, but decided to leave their signature camouflage tape covering the new car's reshaped roofline and bootlid. Thanks to CAR's spy photographers we can remedy that, with scoop photos of the Mini Coupe ahead of its official unveiling. The Mini Coupe: caught with ...

The next big thing on BMW's agenda is a completely new front-wheel drive/four-wheel drive architecture known as UKL1. It is the platform that sits under the Mk3 Mini, and will find its way into an expanding range of Minis, and entry-level BMWs, including a replacement for the just-launched F20 1-series. The Mk2 Mini's final variations The current Mk2 Mini platform still has a couple ...
Our spies have filmed the new Mini Roadster on test at the Nurburgring in Germany. It's not long until we see the Mini Coupe and Roadster concepts make the leap from the motor show to the showroom - the tin-top Coupe comes first and is expected to be launched in autumn 2011, while the Mini Roadster should be seen this ...

BMW (and thus Mini) is particularly media savvy, so as the launch of the new Coupe fast approaches, the disguise on the company’s test vehicles is gradually being stripped away to reveal the concept-aping shape of the production cars. Our spies have just snapped the John Cooper Works version on test in Europe, giving us a close-up look at the hottest ...

Mini continue testing the new Coupe version of the Mk2 Mini hatchback ahead of its sales debut later this year. At first our spy photographer (standing a long way away, judging by these long-range snatched scoop photos) thought this was the Roadster, but close inspection confirms it is the tin-top coupe. There's no rear deck like on 2009's Roadster concept, and ...

After months of speculation, we've finally tracked down the first spy photos of the new Mini Cooper S D. Our spyshots even confirm the Cooper S D badge – there for all to see on the back of this convertible. The go-faster Mini diesel will share the styling cues of the petrol Cooper S, including its centrally mounted twin exhausts. ...

We love to tell you all about the scoop photos at CAR Online. But here we were stumped. Our spies captured this strange Mini Clubman prototype on test with the mother of all bodykits and a glaringly obvious 'Hybrid Drive' sticker on the flanks. And we didn't know what it was!Mini launched a John Cooper Works pack for the Mini ...
