Mini Vision concept: what does it say about the brand's future?

The sight of Mini design head Anders Warming presenting a holographic, 3D projection of the Mini Vision concept as if appearing in his own cartoon was certainly a new one on us, but it captured the quirky, slightly left-field image the subsidiary of BMW Group has cultivated since its relaunch 13 years ago. As the 'Vision' tag suggests, this is billed as a marker of intent for the brand's future design direction rather than a pre-production teaser of the new Mini hatchback (Cooper in most markets) we'll see later this year. However if the third-generation 'new' Mini doesn't look remarkably similar we'd be amazed, such is the level of productionized detailing on this purely digital model.

MINI gets a BMW 2.0 litre diesel

BMW 2.0 litre diesel in a MINI raises the prospect of a MINI John Cooper Works diesel [ad#ad-1] Just like every other car maker, MINI is trying to find a way to give their cars extra eco-kudos but still be able to deliver what their customers want. Hybrids, electric cars and other ‘eco-friendly’ options are one way to go, but diesels, with their extra torque and modern power, can deliver much of what a zippy little petrol unit can (even if they do lose some of the subtlety). So BMW are looking at ways to inject a little more economy in to the MINI Cooper, and if possible a little more power.

Citroen DS3 Cabrio Racing IS going in to production

The Citroen DS3 Cabrio Racing (pictured) is going in to ;imited production Last week Citroen revealed a cabrio version of the DS3 Racing – innovatively named the Citroen DS3 Cabrio Racing – which was a DS3 Racing with the top chopped off and lots of special design cues. The Cabrio Racing had its first outing this weekend at Goodwood – and is heading for a more public reveal at Frankfurt in September – even though Citroen are calling the Cabrio Racing a Concept. But it seems the Cabrio Racing is more than just a concept and is heading for limited production after Citroen confirmed as much to Auto Express over the weekend.
