BMW's new strategy, according to
MotoringFile is for highly efficient new MINIs with a variety of powertrains. Much like the mid 90’s Mini Spiritual concepts from Rover shown in this post, with its engine moved to the rear, gas models will offer four seats and easy to access four door cabins. MINI may use lightweight, tough plastic bodywork, like that fitted to the Mercedes Smart, while the car’s chassis will mix aluminium and composite materials like carbon fibre to deliver enormous strength and light weight.
