MINI will be showing off a new city car concept at the Detroit Auto Show next month. According to Dr Wolfgang Armbrecht, who was quoted in Financial Times Deutschland, “the next spectacular idea from the MINI brand” will be coming soon. Dr Armbrecht then added, “Keep a close eye on the coming months.”
It’s understood the mini-MINI will be based on a shortened R56 platform and will likely be the first car to employ BMW’s new three cylinder engine. Being positioned below the regular R56 models the new city car will also be the cheapest way to enter the MINI brand.
