Watching the 2014 Mini Rocketman concept, you get the feeling that BMW is returning to his roots, back. The Mini Cooper is growing in size. You almost can not help but grin about it as this seems to be the case with every "small" car ever made. Maybe it's a function of the car manufacturers try to give you more for your money, I guess so, but for whatever reason, a return to form of the Mini was almost predictable.
No matter what we have here is, again, a concept with the slogan, the obligatory weird and funky red eared rear doors which, in combination with the exhaust, looks like a rodent sticks its tongue out at you.
Perhaps you've never seen a fan of smiling grille of the Beetle, but the Rocketman back is a bit much, and although Ian Robertson, BMW Group marketing chief, said the company a tradition for concept car magic to the showroom, the most has the elements on the top would probably be discarded.
The Mini has always had one thing in his stylistic bag that other manufacturers would kill for, and indeed, they spend a fortune, and that's machismo. Yes, the Mini, in opposition to many of the competition and is confident driven by burly men and women everywhere, and the good news is that the Rocketman continue that tradition. From a mile away, you can Mini descent and this is great for us and BMW.
The engine for the Rocketman seems to be the new twin turbo power three-cylinder engine that BMW developed. This includes BMW's decision to continue in downsizing engines to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. Before the moaning starts, however, it is important to remember that this is the way all car manufacturers go. The thing is, BMW has a strangle hold on their "Ultimate Driving Machine" moniker, and they will be hanging on, even with a three cylinder, 94mpg engine ... thank you very much.
So for all his funky attitude, the concept of dual glitz and sex appeal, we hope that the Rocketman will go into production. Unfortunately, the car will not be ready until 2014 and even then the word that is not available in the U.S., of course, they said the cooper.
