SPIED: Next Mini Cabriolet, Clubman

MUNICH, Germany - Mini’s Cabriolet and Clubman have been spotted undergoing testing in Munich, Germany.

Despite the camouflage, spy images reveal significant changes to the convertible version of the third-generation new Mini.

The new unit can be seen with a conventional canvas top and will share overall looks, engines and underpinnings with the Mini Cooper.

The most striking change is the size of the car which has clearly grown for the new generation - especially in width.

Overall length has been extended to make room for the front-hinged rear doors as opposed to the rear-hinged, half-door seen in the first generation.

Engines will be borrowed from the Cooper which will include the two-litre turbo.
