Hot! MINI: What's Next?

C’mon, I think it looks ace, man.

You need to take a drive in the Country, man.

It's there to reduce the visual bulk of the car. Mid section is chunky because of batteries.

Also they provide a soothing comfort for those that want an SUV that it at least looks the part for street cred. Solid and Tough parked outside a Starbucks or Starbies as some call it.

Can it withstand the same abusive like the Cactus by an aggressively driven Netto shopping cart? The Cactus absorption pads are indestructible.

Well, I suppose it beats getting your drink spiked at a club, man.

Don't think this thread yet exists, and there seems to be some major news:

Switch to new BMW Group platform means future Mini models could be rear-drive

Next-generation electric Minis could switch from the firm's customary front-wheel-drive set-up to rear-drive, due to the adoption of a new BMW Group platform.

The new Gen6 800V architecture, developed by Mini's parent firm, is claimed to be a “huge leap forward” compared with the technology offered in current-generation EVs. The claimed advances include an increase in range and charging speeds, as well as a reduction in the cost of making cars.
