Design of Mini Coupe car

The Mini Coupe was a sport compact car based on the Cooper Mini and Mini Cabriolet. The Mini Coupe is mechanically related to the Mini Hatch, though that is a “supermini” car. The Mini Coupe is a front engine, front wheel drive vehicle sharing the body of the Roadster. The Mini Coupe is essentially the hard top version of the Roadster.
The Mini Coupe has only two seats, instead of the Cabriolet’s four. This gives the Mini Coupe a larger trunk. The Mini Coupe's windscreen has a greater angle and lower roof to give it lower wind resistance. The Mini Coupe has a spoiler that comes up when the car is going over fifty miles per hour. The spoiler can be raised on demand by pressing a button. The Mini Coupe actually weighs slightly more than the four seat Mini car models because of the sturdier unibody, which has reinforced rocker sills. This gives the Mini Coupe an unusual helmet roof.
The Mini Coupe had several trim lines: the Cooper, the Cooper S, a Cooper SD (which other Mini cars don’t share), and John Cooper Works or JCW.
