MINI has unveiled the Rocketman concept which draws inspiration from the original 1959 Mini. The doors have been given special attention as they are double-hinged and “pivot outwards complete with their sills.” Additionally, the two-piece tailgate has a lower rear section that opens outwards like a kitchen drawer. This unique feature allows the drawer to remain in the extend position so the Rocketman can accommodate four passengers and their luggage. High-res photos: www.worldcarfans.com
MINI has unveiled the Rocketman concept which draws inspiration from the original 1959 Mini. It measures a compact 3419mm long, 1907mm wide and 1398mm tall. The overall design is a little busy, but the car has an attractive Bermuda grey body with exposed carbon fiber sections that hint at the concept’s carbon fiber space frame construction. Furthermore, the Rocketman features a wraparound greenhouse, a glass roof (with optical illumination), LED headlights, projector-style taillights, and 18-inch lightweight wheels. No word on what powers the concept, but MINI hinted the Rocketman is capable of having an average fuel consumption of 3 L/100km (94 mpg imp / 78 mpg US).
