Mini only has the Cooper SE electric car in the line-up. The model is sold only as a hatchback, but the British car manufacturer has decided to come up with a better idea.

Its name is Mini Cooper SE Convertible and, as the name says, it is an electric convertible. The car is based on the current Cooper S Convertible version and uses the same electric powertrain as the Cooper SE hatchback.

The new model is FWD and it is powered by a 184 horsepower electric motor matted to a 35.5 kWh battery pack. As a result, the car has a range of around 260 kilometers.

The convertible comes with a retractable roof which can be operated as speeds of up to 30 km/h. The entire operation takes only 18 seconds.
