MIni: Sidewalk surfing

Mini has announced a top-of-the-range addition to its convertible line-up, due to be presented for the first time at the Detroit motor show.

Available in One, Cooper and Cooper S guises, the Sidewalk model includes leather upholstery, 17-inch alloys, a multi-function leather steering wheel and sports seats.

The Sidewalk also boasts the option of a CVT transmission, while the Cooper version can be fitted with a six-speed auto' gearbox.

Sidewalk models weigh in about six grand more than their base model equivalent, which Mini says in a saving of some £2,000 over specifying the options independently.

The only question is whether it'll be called the Mini Pavement when it gets to the UK.
