The JCW Rocketman / Minor revealed?

Not sure where to post this, but came across this today.

Looks like an increased possibility of getting the go ahead and very much on my wanted list!

Did you also see the Clubman Vision Gran Turismo concept?

I'd love it if MINI would incorporate the exhaust tips to protrude out of the bumper like that clubman concept instead of the traditional below the bumper. That would really set it apart from the rest of the small car segment. IMO, although MINI's probably has the most distinct look, all the small hatches have a pretty similar shape. GTI/Golf, Mazda3 hatch, Focus/Fiesta... at a very quick glance, they all look the same. I hope MINI continues to have endless color combinations and options. I see a lot of MINI's in my area and I've yet to see a 2011-2013 white silver MCS hardtop. Makes me feel special lol.

No I hadn't. I mean, what can I say: it's an awesome image. I had two thoughts when I saw it: 1) That's the kind of car that would invigorate the brand to its core, and 2) Never in a million years will MINI make anything like that.

If they did...

Love those headlights. Even at night you'd know a MINI was approaching.

I agree!! Sadly, my other hope is that they would actually sell it in the US.

Those headlights are fitting, like Xs over the eyes of a dead cartoon character......

So....we all know that (as cool as this is) it has little to do with the MINI Minor, right?
