Bimmertoday reports that the next MINI (F56) will make its debut next year at the Frankfurt Auto Show. It will use a new front-wheel drive platform. This will also be used by the BMW front wheel drive vehicles expected to appear at the Paris Auto Show this September in concept form.

A fresh design will be introduced together with a new family of three-cylinder engines for the MINI. Bimmerpost says this can be an entry-level MINI One and MINI Cooper with power rated just under 100, respectively 130 horsepower. The more powerful models Cooper S and John Cooper Works will continue to use four combustion chambers, but each should provide a little more power than the current generation R56.
