The Rocketman seemed death but the opposite appears true!
It was in Geneva in 2011 that MINI for the first time, the Rocketman Concept showed to the public. A MINI that is getting really MINI, just as big as the classic Mini which the to obesity suffering current incarnation is based.
A small city car with a unique 1+3 configuration for the occupants, finally something to get excited about. But MINI put the idea in the fridge. Until now, in an interview, let’s head of design Anders Warming to know that MINI is still working on a small city car. “The sketches are still on the table, but we reveal anything before we have a viable design.” Also let Warm know that the basics of carbon fiber probably not feasible for the mini-MINI and that there is a lot of aluminum and existing components used will have to be for a sound business case.
The new small MINI would be the competition to have to go with small cars like the Smart and the Toyota IQ. And about the IQ: there are warm ties with Toyota now the brands have a cooperation on sportwagengebied are entered into. Perhaps it could be MINI also the chassis of the IQ to use for its city car costs to print.
