The two-seater Coupe is the latest addition to MINI’s growing range of models. We’ve already seen and detailed the pint-sized coupe model but today the British company updated its gallery with a fresh batch of photos.

According to MINI, its first-ever coupe model that will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show is not just revitalizing the brand’s racing history but also provides the firm with a contender in the sports car segment.

The MINI Coupe will be offered with the most powerful engines in the brand’s line-up. The base version is the 122HP MINI Cooper, followed by the 143HP C and the 184HP Cooper S, while at the top of the range sits the 211HP MINI John Cooper Works.

Want a Mini but not impressed by the plasticky interior? If you’ve got the cash, you could always upgrade to the Goodwood edition to have an interior outfitted by the same people who trim the cabin of a Rolls-Royce. But if that’s not your cup of Earl Gray, Bulgarian customizer Vilner has got a package that could be more up your alley.

Demonstrated on a Mini Cooper dubbed “The Italian Job,” Vilner has decked out the interior in diamond-quilted Nappa leather and two-tone Alcantara. The result looks fit for a Pagani, and is complemented on the outside by a silver paint job with matte black roof and trim and a rather Gumball-style decal package.

The look is pretty sweet, particularly inside, but we dare not ask if it’s any more affordable than Mini’s own Goodwood special. Check out the press release after the jump and the images in the high-res gallery for more.

We’ve run through the basic Mini Goodwood proposition with you since before its debut at this year’sShanghai Motor Show. Mini intends to build limited runs – 1,000 units total worldwide of the basic Cooperhatchback (at least for starters) of the Goodwood trim under the selectable Mini You area of their branding mothership. This is all to honor the BMW Group’s other hallowed brand, Rolls-Royce, which resides on the Goodwood estate in southern England.

So, any Goodwood Mini should be pretty chic-chic, right? You have no idea.

In Europe, our sources tell us the ‘base’ Mini Cooper Goodwood edition will cost 46,900 euro when it starts deliveries in March of 2012. Seeing as one euro dollar is worth pretty consistently around $1.45 U.S. these days, that could be $68,000 to us. Be still our beating hearts.

In reality, the dumbed-down U.S. price ought to arrive at about $48,000. That’s roughly 2.4 times the price of the base hatchback.

Worth it to you? The Rolls-spec leather and woody parts are sumptuous, we must say.

And everything from Al Capone’s vault is in the trunk – standard!

If you’re looking for an off-road Mini, the Countryman is your best bet. But Mini’s always toying with new bodystyles, and the Countryman’s All4 traction system may expand to other models as well. Could this be our first look at the next off-road Mini?

Well, we never know what the future might hold for the BMW division, but what you’re looking at here is the result of Mini’s latest fashion collaboration. Called the Red Mudder, this Mini Cooper S hatchback has been retrofitted by Canadian fashion designers Dean and Dan Caten.

Previewed in renderings earlier this month, the one-off features a raised suspension, brush guard, rally lights, tinted windows, knobby tires (including a spare mounted to the tailgate) and an interior fitted with aluminum plating and a compass on the dashboard. The Caten twins also applied their signature maple leaf logo to the door panels and to the headrests.

It’s the latest product of Mini’s 11-year sponsorship of the Life Ball – Europe’s largest HIV/AIDS fundraiser – that has seen such designers as Versace, Diesel, Kenneth Cole and Calvin Klein create their own interpretations of the Mini, each year auctioned at the event with the proceeds going towards the cause.

Think about the craziest thing you would do to win a free car. Andreas Muller of Germany has you beat. Muller really – really – wanted to win the Mini Cooper being given away by his local radio station, and in order to do so, he had the word “MINI” tattoed on his mini, err… penis.

Organizers of the stunt received a long list of crazy ideas, yet Muller’s stood out for the sheer ballsiness (pun intended). His screams of pain were broadcast over the air as the tattoo was applied to his now-sponsored manhood.
