2014 Paris Motor Show: MINI Superleggera Shows Us Future MINI Design

12:30

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.
