MINI 2006
MINI Concept Geneva turns a Traveller-inspired body into a rally-support design exercise. It joins the Detroit and Frankfurt studies in showing how a longer MINI could be interpreted for different tasks. The…
Mitsubishi 2007
The i MiEV Sport explored a compact electric sports car before Mitsubishi’s electric hatchback became a familiar production model. Its fastback shape and unusual motor arrangement make the 2007 show vehicle a…
MINI 2008
The 2008 MINI Crossover Concept explores a larger and more versatile interpretation of the brand. Its importance is the change of vehicle brief: additional passenger and luggage flexibility become part of the…
Mitsubishi 2008

MINI 2011
The 2011 MINI Rocketman Concept returns to a compactness question at the centre of the brand’s identity: how much useful space can fit inside a small footprint? Its 3+1 seating arrangement and…
Mitsubishi 2013
Concept XR-PHEV combined a compact crossover shape with a plug-in hybrid proposal. The original 2013 Tokyo concept is a separate archive identity from XR-PHEV II, even when later exhibition photographs or search…
MINI 2014
MINI Superleggera Vision is a compact roadster study that brings Italian coachbuilding into a British design vocabulary. Its significance lies in the complete object: a low open body, a deliberately clean surface…
THE RARITY RIDES STANDARD
A limited offer is not automatically a completed-production total. A surviving vehicle is not a complete factory census. We keep those distinctions visible and link each collection back to the individual profile’s evidence.
