"         The first Mini made its public debut in August of 1959, so it&amp;#039;s fitting that 50 years later Mini is unveiling the dramatic Mini Coupe Concept, which the company is billing as the &amp;quot;the most dynamic and agile Mini ever built.&amp;quot;   What&amp;#039;s dramatic about the Mini Coupe Concept is its new styling, most specifically a dramatically raked windshield, along with a new aluminum roof that angles steeply rearward. The new roof flows into a unique downforce-inducing wing at the top of the rear window. The front of the car is pure Mini, although the air dam is more aggressive, in a nod to the car&amp;#039;s sporting intentions. The concept rides on 18-in. alloy wheels.   Although the rear of the Mini is completely different compared to the regular Mini, it remains a hatchback. And with the removal of the rear seat (yes, the Mini Coupe Concept is a 2-seater), cargo capacity increases from the standard 5.7 cu. ft. to 8.8. At 66.3 in. wide, the Mini Coupe Concept is identical in width to the standard Mini, but the concept is 0.6 in. longer (146.2 in.) and sports a 2-in. lower roof height (53.4 in.).   Mini is vague as to what is powering the Coupe Concept. All the company has said so far is that the front-drive Mini Coupe Concept has been &amp;quot;designed to accommodate even the most powerful engine currently available in the Mini,&amp;quot; meaning the 208-bhp John Cooper Works turbocharged 1.6-liter 4-cylinder. What&amp;#039;s unclear is whether the Mini Coupe will be available with the base normally aspirated 1.6-liter when it goes into production. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
