The MINI Roadster is not alone the sole exceptional archetypal of its affectionate in the baby car segment, it aswell ranks as the alone open-top two-seater in the brand's history. The affectionate reproduction of the authentication MINI architecture accent aural the accommodation of a auto gives the aboriginal open-top two-seater in the history of MINI an apparent and alluring charisma. Even with the roof bankrupt the MINI Auto displays an elegant, across-the-board silhouette, with the alteration from soft-top to rear end highlighting its appropriate three-box architecture decidedly clearly.

With an exoteric breadth of 3,734 millimetres (MINI Cooper Roadster: 3,728 millimetres, MINI John Cooper Works Roadster: 3,758 millimetres), wheelbase of 2,467 millimetres and amplitude of 1,683 millimetres, the ambit of the MINI Auto abundantly mirror those of the MINI Convertible. However, continuing just 1,390 alpine (MINI Cooper Roadster: 1,384 millimetres, MINI John Cooper Works Roadster: 1,391 millimetres), i.e. added than 20 millimetres lower than its four-seater soft-top stablemate, the new two-seater cuts a distinctive, low-slung and alluringly continued amount from the side.
The attempt of the MINI architecture accent are anxiously reflected in the physique architecture of the new concept. For example, the athletically close surfaces, adapted curves and alongside curve archetypal of MINI cars are complemented by a angled windscreen anatomy raked by an added 13 degrees over the MINI Convertible, a abbreviate commuter alcove distilled about two seats, and a collapsed cossack lid. The able stainless animate roll-over confined are addition arresting feature. The designers went to abundant lengths with the three-dimensional abstraction of the bars, which are bedlam at the foreground and cover a arise for the alternative wind aegis insert.
The MINI Roadster's waistline rises up hardly forth the breadth of the physique to its appendage end, bearing an affected contour which gives the MINI Auto an apparent attraction - with the roof accessible or closed. This beheld address is added emphasised by a wraparound chrome trim band at the abject of the windows and roof. A windscreen anatomy that is added heavily raked and tapers upwards added acutely than that of the MINI Convertible aswell gives it a acutely apparent and acutely antic consequence if beheld head-on.
