We have seen undisguised pictures of the new MINI Traveller just recently, and here’s now proof the car will be available in the hotter 'S' version, too.

Larger air-intakes in the front bumper plus one additional one in the bonnet and two exhaust pipes at the rear will distance the 'S' from its less potent brothers. Like these, however, the car incorporates barn-style rear doors that split down the middle. The doors themselves have thoughtfully been cut wide to incorporate the brake lights, affording a large aperture for easy cargo loading.

Additionally, the model gains one 'suicide-hinged' side-door on the passenger side of the vehicle. It is made to open wide to ease entry to the back seat. In truth, the 'Traveller' name hasn’t been officially announced, but the historically-correct name is widely expected to be affixed to the five-seater when the car finally hits the road in summer this year.
