Is it too late to throw the F56 out and start again? Because these MINI Vision images, based on a virtual 3D hologram, look a lot better than what we’re expecting from the imminent arrival of the third-generation MINI.
In their official media release MINI says the Vision, “previews a sampling of visionary design and innovative ideas,” and that it, “showcases various elements of future MINI design.”
Indeed, the timing of this release is slightly odd given the debut of the F56 is only a few months away. Perhaps some of the elements you see here will translate to the forthcoming production model. Alas, we’ve probably seen too much in recent spy shots to expect that this could actually be a genuine preview of the next-gen MINI.
MINI is well known for its mastery of publicity, but it would seem beyond all reasonable scope to think the car seen in recent spy pics is a hoax and that this is indeed the real deal.
