Copyright AUTOMEDIA / SPY PHOTOS: Mini Clubman S

Faster loading space

We have seen undisguised pictures of the new Mini Clubman just recently, and now there is proof that the car will be available in the hotter "S" version, too. Larger air-intakes in the front bumper plus one additional one in the bonnet and two exhaust pipes at the rear will distance the "S" from its less potent brothers. Like its smaller siblings, however, the car incorporates barn-style rear doors that split down the middle. The doors themselves have thoughtfully been cut wide to incorporate the brake lights, affording a large aperture for easy cargo loading. Additionally, the model gains one (!) suicide-hinged side-door on the passenger side of the vehicle. It is made to open wide to ease entry to the back seat.
