Ever since being acquired by BMW, the MINI brand has started developing into something different than just company that produces small cars – and that, nostalgia aside, isn’t necessarily something bad.
A great example of this is the MINI Superleggera Vision concept. Built by the British manufacturer in collaboration with Touring Superleggera for the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este 2014, it is a low-slung, two-seated roadster reminiscent of a traditional MINI which is, according to the company behind it, a blend of “modern Britishness” and “Italian flair”.
The bodywork is done in classic Italian style, with at least as much emphasis placed on aesthetics as there was on aerodynamics. The interior features leather, aluminu, and black chrome, alongside iconic MINI styling themes placed across the dash and controls.
As with many concept models, it’s unlikely the MINI Superleggera Vision will ever make it into full-scale production. If that happens, it would definitely be a bold and interesting move by the British carmaker.
