MINI has revealed its MINI Rocketman Concept in advance of the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. The vehicle is full of unusual touches and gets back to nearly the size of the original Mini. Check out the video that provides a good look at the concept vehicle. The Rocketman uses carbon spaceframe construction, wide-opening doors with double-hinge joints and integrated sills, a two-part tailgate that consists of one section which is attached to the roof and opens extremely high, and a lower section which extends out of the body in the form of a drawer, a wrap-around greenhouse with an illuminated glass roof, projector-style rear lights, and LED fiber optics, among other touches that are sure to be seen on the next generation of MINIs. Best of all the vehicle is estimated to get 94 miles per gallon of diesel. Thus, even if the Rocketman is approved for production don't expect to see it in the US.
