Our British colleagues in the CAR found out intriguing internal news Mini-according to the newspaper, the company management (of course, BMW) approved the release of a production version of the stunning concept Superleggera Vision. It is expected that amusing Roadster will arrive closer to the year 2018.
Of course, it will remain very close to the original - this is all the chips-raisins. However, without some of the updates required for serial continuation, will not do. For starters, the opener will lose electrometrical (by the way, and the remaining undisclosed) and will get much more logical units from the usual Mini new generation. This means a set of three - and four-cylinder engines (with front-or all-wheel drive), where the latter will be quite predictable in the S and JCW versions.
On the other hand, the Superleggera Vision is waiting for some redesign. In General, nothing radical, but from a pair of features will have to give - for example, there appears standard mirrors, other door handles and that are very useful even, soft convertible top. Thus, judging by previously merged into the Network of patent images, the model will retain super-duper rear optics and a fin on the trunk lid.
Such gud news. Very much hope and look forward to the product vision!
