Mini to showcase Paceman concept

Mini is to showcase a brand new concept at the Detroit Motor Show in January, which could be the preview of yet another model in the fast expanding range in the brand.

The Paceman is billed as a Sports Activity Coupe and is muscular in design, as was the most recent production car addition to the range, Countryman.

Wedge in shape, the car also sports what the designers call a 'helmet roof'.

The Paceman Concept is powered by a JCW 1.6 turbocharged petrol engine with 211hp available. It also has the ALL4 AWD drive system pioneered in the Countryman.
