"Well, July&amp;#039;s starting with a bang. Our spy photographers snagged these totally undisguised 2014 Mini Coopers when they broke cover for a photo shoot. The next-gen Mini gets a variety of several exterior tweaks while maintaining the iconic shape of the current car. LED daytime running lights will dominate the headlight cluster in the new car, and our spies think the car has grown somewhat. A slightly more raked windshield lends a jauntier overall appearance, and all the Minis seen here, including the standard Mini Cooper (it&amp;#039;s the red car in the slideshow), share a power bulge on the hood. Of course, the biggest news is happening under the skin of the new Mini Cooper. Riding on a new, front-wheel-drive chassis shared with the BMW 1-series, the Mini will utilize a new twin-turbocharged 1.5-liter inline 3-cylinder engine with Valvetronic infinitely variable valve lift. Journalists have already had a peek at this engine&amp;#039;s capability. BMW has been testing it in its current-generation 1- and 3-series, and the feedback has been positive. Preformance should only improve when the engine starts to haul around the smaller, lighter Mini. Expect the three-banger to have the ability to summon up horsepower numbers comparable to the current four cylinders. Look for the new Mini to debut at the Frankfurt auto show in September, when all the technical details will be fleshed out. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
