MINI Rocketman concept

Small cars are much bigger than they were 40 years ago, with nothing demonstrating that better than the MINI Cooper in 2001. Further bulking up the brand, the four-door MINI Countryman takes on the Compact SUV market, for those who want the coolness of a Cooper, without the size compromise.

Enter the Rocketman Concept. Shaving 20 centimetres off the modern MINI Cooper, the Rocketman edges the brand little closer in size to the classic Mini, without sacrificing the technology we’ve come to expect.

Described as a 3+1, the 3-door concept car can be setup in two, three or four seater configurations, and uses double-hinged front doors to reduce the space needed to open them fully. The rear hatch is split, with a large panel opening upwards, and a drawer style arrangement that slides out at the bottom.

Clearly designed with the youth market in mind, a lot of glass above the door line promotes an airy feel, and technology abounds with 3D graphics adorning the various displays.
