How I designed the mini
In this new
, Frank Stevenson talks about designing the new MINI Cooper, the challenges he faced and the reasons behind all of his decisions. It’s a fascinating video and gives you a better understanding and, hopefully, appreciation for the design.
Back in the late ’90s, BMW was taking on a very tall task — recreating the Mini Cooper. For decades, the original Mini was the iconic small car, the car that proved small, inexpensive transportation could be stylish, cool and, most importantly, fun. The original Mini is one of the all-time greatest cars ever made, so it’s not exactly the easiest car to create a sequel to. When BMW undertook such a task back in the late ’90s, it outsourced the project to several different designers and the one whose design was chosen was Frank Stevenson from BMW’s Designworks studio in California
