The New MINI Coupé is wears what the MINI folks calls a “helmet roof” instead of a more traditional top.
MINI officially released photos of the new two seater today that disguise the “helmet roof,” but the idea is to make the car look sporty with a lower and more aggressive roof line.
Does it work?
We’ll let you be the judge.
