The MINI Cooper S Coupe R58, produced from 2011 to 2015, is a compact two-seater designed for sporty driving with a unique, unconventional roofline that gives it a distinctive look. Powered by a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, the Cooper S Coupe produces 181 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque, allowing it to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in around 6.5 seconds. The car comes with a six-speed manual transmission as standard, with a six-speed automatic as an option, and features MINI’s signature go-kart-like handling with quick steering and a low center of gravity.
The exterior of the R58 stands out due to its "helmet" style roof, which is lower and more streamlined than the regular MINI, giving it a sporty, aggressive profile. It includes an active rear spoiler that automatically deploys at 50 mph to improve downforce and stability. Inside, the Coupe maintains the classic MINI look with a large central speedometer, retro toggle switches, and high-quality materials. With a focus on driving dynamics, the Cooper S Coupe R58 offers a unique blend of performance and style, appealing to enthusiasts who want a distinctive, fun-to-drive car.
