Mini Spy Shots

Mini is a brand of small cars that began with the Mark I designed by Sir Alec Issigonis in 1959. Originally sold under the Austin and Morris brand names, Mini became the small car's actual name in 1964. Made famous by one of cinema's best car chases in the film "The Italian Job," the car's design remained relatively unchanged except for different front ends until the all-new Mini Cooper was launched by BMW in 2001.

    1364596080

    IMAGE REMOVED AT REQUEST OF OWNER A Reddit user has posted images of the 2015 F56 Mini Cooper, one each of the exterior and interior.

    Spy Shots: Mini Cooper five-door exists and has been spotted
    1352496540

    The two-door Mini Cooper is getting two additional portals in its next generation. A coming five-door Cooper S with central exhaust has been spotted out testing, the idea presumably being that it will pose a better challenge to other small, premium hatches in the segment like the A1 Sportback from Audi. Based on the same UKL platform that will support the ...

    Mini previews Paceman with new 'spy shots'
    1343763060

    Look at this: Mini has posted official 'spy shots' of the 2013 Paceman to its Facebook page. Cheeky Germans. As we know, the Paceman is coming early next year as a late-to-market 2013 model. Despite reports that Mini would be dropping the catchy name that christened its original concept in favor of the more literal Countryman Coupe moniker, none other ...

    It looks like BMW is set to put the Mini back in minivan, with an enlarged version of its Countryman crossover. Our spy photographers snagged these shots of the jumbo-sized Mini mule testing in Europe and wearing conventional Countryman bodywork. But if you look closely, you can see that the front wheels have moved forward a bit, suggesting the Mini ...

    Spy Shots: 2014 Mini Cooper gets mellow in yellow
    1337191320

    Given the spate of new models Mini has introduced in the past few years, from the Clubman to the Countryman to the Coupe to the Roadster, it sometimes seems like BMW has forgotten about the original model, the plain old Mini Cooper hardtop. It was last redesigned for the 2007 model year, which seems like a long time ago because, well, it is. Which is why ...

    Spy Shots: Mini preparing JCW GP version of Cooper Coupe too?
    1334788080

    Want a hot little hatchback? You could do a lot worse than a Mini. But as with many cars, your budget will determine how much speed you get: Cooper, Cooper S, JCW or – with the first-gen model, anyway – the top-of-the-line John Cooper Works GP. Introduced just before Mini launched the second-generation model line, the GP edition packed more ...

    Spy Shots: 3rd-gen Mini Cooper spy shots suggest retro-free interior
    1326815880

    The relentlessly unconventional Mini Cooper looks to be going a lot less unconventional for its third generation, at least on the inside. A glimpse of what appears to be Mini's future was snapped by KGP Photography in the Arctic Circle, and outside, there looks to be little change except for slightly larger dimensions. Inside, though, the ...

    Spy Shots: Mini Countryman JCW rolls at the 'Ring
    1310052480

    Mini has established a pretty successful formula for its lineup. The party gets started with a base model, followed by a slightly more athletic S variant. But at the very top of the heap, the John Cooper Works trim delivers gut-punching performance with a serious suspension, easy-breathing exhaust and beefy brakes. Judging from a handful of spy photos ...
