MINI show car at Geneva 2011

I was checking out a Flickr member's Geneva car show photos, and saw this shot of an interior: GenevaMotorShow 140c.

This is the first time I've seen anything about this. If you know more, please post!

That's just a close-cropped shot of the Rocketman interior.

Thanks for the link!
Wow, just a little carbon-fiber there... do like the lack of door sill.

That double hinged door is certainly an interesting idea. I'm a fan of that alone. Not too much a fan of the design concept but I'm pretty sure it'll more align with the 2012's anyways which leaves us with a smaller MINI...the jokes in other threads about a Micro seems less like a joke now!

I'm not digging those tail lights at all! I think they ruin the lines of the car and they look like they forget to put tail lights on the car and crazy glued those things on at the last minute. Wheels are ugly too and overall it's over stylized. Honestly, there isn't much I like about that car at all.

Agree! Look like glorified Secret Service grab bars.

I'm trying to picture the President and the First Lady waving to the crowds from the back seat of a Mini. LOL
