Mini Beachcomber Concept

What you see in the picture is not a Jeep, but the Mini Beachcomber Concept, a prototype that will be presented at the Detroit Motor Show 2010. Who would have thought … the Mini, so stylish british and transformed into a kind of tank. It ‘also open for a thrilling Safari between lianas and wild animals. We do not believe is used to produce, at least not immediately. Not before that climate change transform Europe into a savannah. Rather, the Mini Beachcomber is a great anticipation of the Mini SUV, highly anticipated version of the compact luxury.

In the past, he winked at the Mini Moke, open variant called the “spiaggine. But Beachcamber is decidedly more modern and looks to be even more comfortable and durable. We wonder what will remain after the project will be completed in the SUV. We’ll know at the Geneva Motor Show 2010, to March, when the final model will be officially presented.

With the SUV, the Mini Countryman Family Mini – Mini that is no longer a family – is complete with saloon, Clubman station wagon, SUV and convertible.

The Beachcomber Mini is designed, as it was for the Moke to the difficult terrain, and has four-wheel drive and various devices to control stability on rough ground. The roof is there, but is removable and very protective. Do not yet know the details on the engine, interior and mechanics, but from 11 to 24 January we will touch, at the Detroit Motor Show 2010.
