The MINI Superleggera
Vision Concept is also
being displayed at the 2014 Paris Motor Show.
Described
as blending contemporary Britishness with traditional Italian design flair, the
MINI Superleggera Vision is heavily rumoured to point to a new open-top MINI model
that aims to be more successful than the current MINI Roadster.
The new
roadster is also rumoured to hint at future MINI design and even uses an
electric drivetrain that insiders suggest is a development of that used by the
BMW i3.
The new Mini
was conceived, created and produced in a project between its Munich-based
design department and Touring Superleggera’s coach building works in Milan. The
former led the styling of the low slung two seater, while the latter undertook
its traditional hand shaped metal sheet construction. Many
classic MINI design cues have been carried over, including a hexagonal shaped
grille, oval shaped headlamps, bonnet stripes and multi-spoke wheels. They are
combined with a series of traditional styling touches found on a long history
of Touring Superleggera models.
The
Superleggera Vision boasts classic roadster proportions with a long probing
nose, cabin set well back within the wheelbase and a rear end with minimal
overhang.
