MINI R58
MotoringFile posted a story about the R58 today. My idea is for MINI to create something to turn the heads of Jeep and F150 owners. The MINI has won over many from more expensive sports cars. Do the same for offroad. The Wrangler is creeping up-market and is ripe to loose out on a new generation small offroader. Create something new and bold for us. The MINI grill would look great offroad and the short overhangs of the MINI are perfect for offroading. No SUV type MINI is going to handle MINI like on-road so don’t even try to go the X5 route. That only works when you have $50k+ and plenty of power to push around all the weight.
The MINI brand can be about exploiting it’s small size to master it’s environment, unlike any other car company.
Here is something very rough from the current R56 features. Looks a bit funky, but the idea is in there…
