Here’s a short video of the MINI Paceman undergoing testing at the Nürburgring. Judging by the front spoiler we gather it’s a Cooper S model being put under the pump. It sounds alright too.

We’re not really quite sure what to make of a two-door Countryman, but we have this growing feeling that we’re going to like it. Quite a lot. Why, we’re not so sure!

It’s expected the Paceman will be displayed for the first time at the Paris Motor Show in September, with pics and other details released beforehand.
