Rumor: MINI Rocketman to See Production

[DimON]

Autocar.co.uk is reporting that MINI’s Ian Robertson “has given clear indications that the MINI Rocketman could make production and gives hints towards other future MINIs.” Now it almost goes without saying that a production version of this smaller MINI wouldn’t have the Rocketman name or most of the Rocketman concept details. What would be very likely to remain are it’s shape, its dimensions, its likely 3-cylinder powerplant and and its 3+1 seating.

Robertson went on to infer something that we’ve suspected here at MotoringFile — that aspects of the Rocketman concept are clues toward the design future of MINI, including the next generation hatch. “The themes in the car are not just about a smaller MINI. Lightweight construction, and new types of components will go on to MINIs. The BMW i-concept will be available to all members of the group.”

We’ll keep you posted with more concrete information when we have it.
