Mini Rocketman Concept is Oddly Cool

Straight out of an Elton John song

Feb 23 2011, 11:34am CST | by Shane McGlaun

Minis have been around for a long time, long before the BMW band purchased the company and brought the little cars into the fold. A new concept Mini has surfaced that is strange and cool all at the same time. The concept is called the Rocketman.

The car will debut in Geneva when the show kicks off next month. It is a 3+1 seater with three doors and is just over 10-feet long. The car is positioned as a subcompact for the premium segment.

Mini offers few hard details on the Rocketman at this time. We should expect to hear more on the car from Geneva early next month. I wonder if this is a car that will make it into production; the design isn’t too out there really.
