Mini Paceman Concept: Crossover and cut at a time.

Mini unveils Paceman, a concept close to the series that could overshadow the Citroen DS3.

Could it be to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the brand in the U.S. market? The fact is that Mini will benefit from the Detroit Motor Show (from 10 to 23 January 2011) to reveal the Paceman, a Countryman amputated two doors and shortened a few centimeters in height (1.54 meters against 1.56 for the meter Countryman).

If the architecture of "crossover coupe" recalls Evoque Land Rover, Mini intends rather to seduce a younger, mostly male, like the Citroen DS3. Its look small sports coupe, the flowing roofline and rear pillars are black indeed reminiscent of the French.

To teach this concept Paceman, Mini opted for the 1.6 liter turbo with 211 hp of the Works Mini Cooper S John. Wheel drive "ALL4" is identical to the Countryman.
