AutoSpies: The New Mini Cooper Broadspeed Rendering

 

Nice

 

Dang, I can't wait to see the concept when it's released in Frankfurt this September! If it looks similar to that, I'm all over ordering a Broadspeed, only in white silver!

 

I hope they give a nod to the fins

 

Reminds me of a overweight first gen Audi TT.
Also, looks like the original "new MINI" design by Rover Group.
IMHO....Fail.

 

I really hope this gets built & is available in the US.

 

Yuck. The *** end would look terrible.

 

So, I was at auto week in monterey and found something interesting while at historic race. Broadspeed is based on "tuner" Ralf Broad that started Broadspeed (tuning) and Team Broadspeed (racing) and campaigned Minis in ETCC and BTCC series very successfully so much that BMC took notice and gave factory support, despite there was already a BMC factory team, privateer teams, John Cooper, etc. After winning several series surpassing BMC's road race efforts, they decided to suddenly drop factory support of Broadspeed. Durring this time Team Broadspeed did develop a car the Broadspeed GT, based on Austin Mini, that if you look at it resembles this modern broadspeed. Later Broadspeed campaigned Ford and Jags successfully in BTCC and ETCC.

 

If I don't have anything nice to say. I won't say it. Therefore I have nothing to say.

 

Here's a pic of original Broadspeed based on Austin Mini Cooper S:
