Mini's new Coupé, a compact two-seater that effortlessly distills the brand's carefully contrived character into a package aimed at the more sporty, design-conscious buyer

Mini的新政变有很多值得喜欢的地方，它是一款紧凑型的双座轿车，可以毫不费力地将该品牌精心设计的特征提炼成一个面向更有运动感、更有设计意识的买家的包装。可以说，这次政变起到了与十年前最初的迷你库珀S(Mini Cooper S)相同的作用，当时宝马(BMW)的品牌已经回归。我们都知道，这是一个巨大的成功。200万米尼斯之后，原来的光环车已经被不少于六个衍生产品的范围所吞噬，一直持续到不那么小的乡村。虽然最初的库珀和库珀S仍然是系列的畅销书，但无处不在的现象略微削弱了它们的体育吸引力。进入政变。Minis继续在全球范围内强劲销售，逆势而行的是过去几年的下滑趋势。借用伍迪·艾伦的话来说，汽车公司就像鲨鱼一样-它必须继续前进才能生存。如果它停了，它就会死。自其非凡的复兴以来，Mini一直致力于新产品的开发，从农村到敞篷车。随着双座敞篷跑车在明年初推出，以及即将推出的其他车型，包括新的PACMAN，迷你机在世界各地的90个市场上无情地轰鸣着。印度是该公司的最新目标(尽管这对小型掀背车来说很难销售，特别是像这样的高价机器)。2009年，这场政变首次以概念形式出现在法兰克福，但基本上没有变化。迷你公式是很好的练习，你绝不能把这辆车误认为是其他任何东西，尽管急剧改变的车顶，曲线下降到一个繁忙的后端。Mini正在做很多关于这是他们的第一个‘三盒设计’(帽子，乘客车厢，靴子)，但这是有点虚伪。如果说有什么不同的话，那就是，简陋的配置文件和浅浅的窗口使得传统的更低的=运动的方程变得过于字面的优点。无论如何，快速后座迷你车的想法并不新鲜；早在60年代，英国的调音公司BroadSpeer就把一条圆滑的尾巴钉在亚历克·伊斯戈尼斯(Alec Issigonis)的原型车上，这是一款带有口袋大小的阿斯顿马丁DB6(Adston Martin Db6)的新车型。这场新的政变与上世纪60年代的风尚格格不入，它的厚厚的条纹和鲜明的屋顶颜色更多的是表达而不是风格。这是一个漏掉的戏法，菲亚特会做得很好，促使500扎加托投入生产-一种更有成就的掀背式快速治疗。看上去

First shown in concept form at Frankfurt in 2009, the Coupé has reached production largely unchanged

The Mini machine rumbles on relentlessly in 90 markets around the world

Mini's formula is well-practised and you could never mistake this car for anything else, despite the drastically altered roofline that curves down to a bustle-like rear end

The idea of a fastback Mini isn't new; back in the 60s, British tuning company Broadspeed tacked on a sleek tail to Alec Issigonis's original car, a swooping addition with a hint of pocket-sized Aston Martin DB6

The new Coupé's thick stripes and contrasting roof colours are more about statement than style

This will remain a niche car in the high volume world of Mini, with the most powerful model, the John Cooper Works, pitched as the fastest car in the company's current line-up

Inside, it's classic Mini to the fore...

... complete with a complex option list of trims, colours and options, allowing buyers to easily add a few thousand pounds to the basic price

That retro-esque dashboard with large, circular speedometer is all present and correct

On the road the Coupé retains all the best qualities of its siblings - neat handling, compact footprint and sprightly acceleration

The company held their launch event high up in the Austrian Alps, and the winding roads around the Jaufen and Brenner Passes were a pitch perfect location for sampling the car's many virtues

The tough suspension was flattered by the smooth Austrian tarmac, however - this could be a rickety ride on less forgiving roads

Apart from the lost rear seats, the Coupé is a practical beast, with a generous boot and excellent economy and emissions
