Spontaneous, Open & Irresistible: 2014 MINI Roadster - Appleton Post Crescent
Introduced to the American marketplace in 2012, the typically MINI interpretation of a compact roadster embodies unadulterated sportiness and spontaneous urban driving fun under the open sky. The MINI Roadster's classical soft-top roof, which can be easily opened and closed manually, ensures open-top driving pleasure can be lapped up at every opportunity. The hallmark MINI design language within the proportions of a roadster gives the first open-top two-seater in the history of MINI an unmistakable and irresistible charisma. Even with the roof closed, the MINI Roadster displays an elegant, sweeping silhouette, with the transition from soft-top to rear end highlighting its characteristic three-box design particularly clearly. When it comes to optimizing occupant protection, the MINI Roadster is fitted with a pair of roll-over bars behind the seats. Available in Cooper, Cooper S and John Cooper Works models, power for the MINI Roadster is generated by three versions of its responsive 1. 6L four-cylinder engine: naturally aspirated (Cooper) and turbocharged (Cooper S and John Cooper Works). A Sport Button on the center console, standard on all US spec MINI John Cooper Works Roadster variants, allows the driver to adjust the car's steering characteristics and accelerator responses.
