A GREAT CONCEPT FROM THE BEGINNING.


You just know that taking the best of British and blending it with the finest Italian craftsmanship and design is going to be a fantastic idea. Proved by the creation of the sensational MINI Superleggera vision. In fact, it’s got the lot: jawdropping looks, heartstopping performance and cutting edge technology all rolled into one. Lucky thing.

MINI. JUST NOT AS YOU KNOW IT.

And now for something completely different - a vision of MINI as classic speedster. Just one look and you know that this concept is the essence of driving fun. From the stretched bonnet, long wheelbase and short overhangs all evoking those happy feelings associated with the classic British roadster. Crafted by hand and moulded over a lightweight frame of aluminium tubes. A sweeping line takes you all the way from the front to the dapper fins at the rear.

A FAMILIAR FACE.

There are the trademark signs like the iconic round headlights and hexagonal grille, as well as the familiar bonnet stripes that emboss the hood. Using the parts we know and love as the foundation of this bold new vision.

IN CONTROL.

The exterior and interior of the MINI Superleggera fuse in an effortless continuation of seamless style, with minimalistic features that eschew the unnecessary. The elegantly simple 3-spoke steering wheel reveals a traditional method of construction, while an ultramodern touch-sensitive control element reveals the cutting-edge. But both acknowledge that perhaps even great design shouldn’t distract you from fantastic driving.

HUMAN TOUCHES.

Italian style and handmade craftsmanship embellish every detail. With every element as easy on the hand as on the eye. Superleggera know a thing or two about using the finest materials. They’ve been doing it since 1926. Using master craftsman to craft the entire car with bespoke materials including aluminium and leather.

A BOLD UNION.

The MINI Superleggera signs off with a statement that expresses the British roots of the concept. But combines functionality and symbolism in a unique and fresh way. With LED technology to reinforce the technical prowess of this future classic.

BULLDOG BEAUTY.

A MINI is not a MINI without the thrilling go-kart ride. And the agility we expect is ensured by the trademark ‘bull dog’ stance that pushes the wheels right to the corners.

PAST, MEET FUTURE.

The MINI Superleggera concept may pay homage to motoring golden age, but its mind is firmly set on the future. With cutting edge technology that has electric power at its heart. Inside, traditional wood and leather is futuristically forged with aluminium to striking effect. With the MINI Centre Information set in a unique a single aluminium sheet. Further references to British motoring heritage are treated with respect and Italian flair.
