So just a few of the basics.
- It's got a carbon-fibre spaceframe construction.
- It's just over 10ft long, making it the mini-est of MINIs so far (11ft 3-inches approx).
- It seats four in a 3+1 arrangment (this can be altered for more comfortable positioning)
- It offers an amazing 94mpg - putting the MINI back where it belongs as one of the most fuel efficient cars
- The doors are double hinged, either side of the A-panel to allow extra access into the car.
- Rear lights/indicators are projected on to the body of the car using a unique LED system.
- Split tailgate with large opening hatch and 'drawer' style openings.
- Dashboard redesigned.
- All console controls now moved to steering wheel
- Aerodynamic wheels with carbon fins.
It's flexible. Because of the size constraints, owners will be able to use the flexibility of the components of the car to meet the required needs. The luggage compartment can be increased if the number of seats is reduced, and vice-versa. If out for some fun driving, the seating can be reduced to just two, while four can be also seated if necessary, although likely to be in considerably less comfort.
The Rocketman is set to be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2011, and is a combination of new and old elements. Taking the concept and basic idea of getting the most storage from the smallest space from the original Mini back in 1959, it's customisable options, forward-looking design and ingenuity also see the gadgets of tomorrow incorporated and will hope to appeal to both modern MINI brand lovers as well as those who have in the past criticised the MINI hatch for being too big.It's a bit off the wall, but we think it could be a hit.
