Mini Cooper S R56

2006 – 2014

The Mini supermini range, known for its retro styling, consists of various models like the Mini Cooper, Mini Hatch, Mini Hardtop, Mini One, and Mini John Cooper Works. Initially launched in July 2001 after BMW acquired the Mini brand, the Mini range includes three-door hatchback, two-door convertible, and five-door hatchback models since 2014. BMW's involvement with the Mini brand began with the unveiling of the Mini hatch concept car at the 1997 Frankfurt International Motor Show under the ownership of the Rover Group. The positive reception to the concept's design led to the official launch of the Mini range in 2001 following BMW's sale of the Rover Group. This event marked the discontinuation of the classic Mini. The Mini brand has expanded under BMW's ownership, introducing larger models like the Clubman (2007), the Countryman (2010), the Paceman (2012), and the Aceman (2024), which have further diversified the Mini lineup.
