No more cleverly arranged leaks, this is the real thing: official info on the Mini Paceman and enough photos to choke Getty Images. More than merely a Countryman sans two doors, the Paceman is restylized with a sloping roof, horizontal taillights, it sits lower and gets sleek rear glass over pronounced haunches to play up its much sportier intentions. Anyone who wants a high-riding Paceman, however, can opt for the standard ride-height at no cost.
The inside's been fiddled with as well, the Paceman being the first Mini to have power window buttons on the doors instead of the toggles on the central console. There are two back seats, not a bench, with integrated armrests and Mini's Center Rail system for holding things. The seats can be folded down to triple the available load space.
Four versions are on the way when it goes on sale in the UK in March, 2013, each with its own engine: the 122-horsepower Paceman with a 1.6-liter gas engine, the 112-hp D Paceman and 143-hp SD Paceman with 1.6-liter diesels, and the S Paceman that uses the gas 1.6-liter but gets 184-hp. The S model will dash from naught to 62 mph in 7.5 seconds, three seconds faster than the standard Paceman for a penalty of less than one imperial mile per gallon. The John Cooper Works version in development should do even better, at least as far as speed is concerned. Gear changes will be via the six-speed manual as standard fitment, or a six-speed automatic if so desired. The ALL4 system is available on all models save the base car.
Just six months away from hitting showroom floors in the UK, the Paceman will run £18,970 ($30,727 U.S.) on the road. There's a press release below and that colossal image gallery above.
