MINI surprised us this weekend with a more than fun (electrically driven) concept.

This weekend >Concorso d‘Eleganza Villa d’Este on the program. A meeting of the world’s finest automobiles, accompanied by a general public that these cars can still pay also. In addition to the exhibition of rare classics and supercars is the competition each year by leading brands an opportunity to share their vision on the future to the present.

Today let BMW us already see how their vision on the MINI looks like. The two-seater is in cooperation with the well-known coachbuilder Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera built. The Italian design house we know of the Alfa Romeo Disco Volante and the Bellagio Fastback. The Superleggera Vision will, during the concours at Villa d’este will be revealed and this seems this question is already answered.

In the design of the special MINI will have the Italians as much as possible omitted. The exterior has little or no seams. This is possible because the body from large plates of aluminum is increased. Also during the design of the interior was the idea of less is more. We see a tight cockpit with a touch screen dashboard what is the use of physical buttons unnecessary. The centre console is so out of just a shift knob, a slot for the key and the control for the roof.

Although the design (in my eyes) more to the Italian than British-inclined, the design house the heritage of MINI is not forgotten. Both the (LED) tail lamps as the tubular frame in the door panels to form the lines of the Union Jack.

All in all, this MINI Superleggera Vision to be a successful concept if you ask me. It is still wait and see what power BMW for the concept has in store, but it is clear that this will be electrically powered. I say now though!
