"aimed to increase public appreciation of contemporary design and the sustainability considerations that go with it." The article exclaims:
The exterior appearance of the MINI Rocketman Concept picks up on the unmistakable design language of the classic MINI, while the concept’s overall form combines traditional values with innovative automotive design.
