MINI Superleggera Vision Concept




The MINI Superleggera Vision Concept had its original debut at the 2014 Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este at Lake Como, Italy. The BMW Group usually unveils an interesting concept or two at the Concorso d'Eleganza every year; for 2015, it was the BMW 3.0 CSL Homage Concept. This vehicle is crafted mainly by Italian coachbuilder Touring Superleggera. For those of you who are unfamiliar with coachbuilding, this is where a company restyles an existing car completely and calls it their own. In this case, the BMW Group collaborated with Touring Superleggera to create the MINI concept above. It is uncertain whether the MINI Superleggera Vision Concept will hit production or not. If it does, it may be powered by a turbocharged three-pot sourced from BMW, send power to the front wheels, contain a sole automatic gearbox offering, and have a simplistic, driver-oriented cabin. Honestly, I think this is a cool concept, but I'm unsure if I would buy one if it went on sale.
