This handmade Italian roadster is a Mini Cooper unlike any other


The Verge:

Milan-based coachbuilder Carrozzeria Touring has teamed up with Mini’s design team to build a truly spectacular one-off, electric-powered concept roadster that somehow manages to meld the classic British design with sleek Italian looks.


The so-called Mini Touring Superleggera Vision will almost certainly never see the roads in this form, but that doesn’t mean you can’t fall in love with the design.

I’ve always been a fan of Mini Coopers (even if I’d never buy one) but this one? I’d love be able to buy. Sadly, it’s a one-off. Make sure you watch the very cool video too.

  1. I absolutely LOVE this car. Reminds me of the Lotus Elan from the late 80s. Thanks for the share, Shawn.

  2. Gorgeous….GREAT video. Funny choice for music though…80’s? What a car though.

  3. Agreed. Only part of the car that didn’t excite me was that fin. Granted, if they gave me the car, I’d learn to love the fin. 🙂

  4. It’s MINI in all caps. Slightly surprised the verge got that incorrect.

    I’ve had mine for five years and have to say MINI offers a fantastic ownership and driving experience. Love it.
