It was 50 years ago that the iconic Mini was launched and to commemorate that event, the British automaker unveiled the Mini Coupe Concept, a 2-seat variant of this popular hatchback. The much lower roofline is accommodated by removing the car's rear bench seat, which increases the vehicle's luggage compartment from 5.7 to 8.8 cubic feet. The Coupe Concept rides has the same wheelbase and width as the standard Mini hatch, but is slightly longer overall while standing a full 2 inches lower. Mini is coy about whether or not the coupe will be built, but hints that the vehicle is capable of using the most powerful engine available in a Mini — the 208-horsepower turbocharged 1.6-liter four in the John Cooper Works edition.
