Será que teremos a "imagem DRL LED da família MINI" a ser anunciada aqui?

Não é a bandeira Inglesa, é a bandeira do Reino Unido. [Esta da bandeira inglesa transparente como tecto panoramico é um pormenor, ou melhor, um pormaior 5* []

Fonte: AutocarBMW’s sales and marketing boss Ian Robertson has given clear indications that the Mini Rocketman could make production and gives hints towards other future Minis.
“We are good at looking at history and interpreting a future for it,” he told Autocar, and pointed out that most Mini concept cars do eventually end up in the showroom.
All future Mini models could be influenced by the Rocketman concept, according to Robertson. “The themes in the car are not just about a smaller Mini,” he said. “Lightweight construction, and new types of components will go on to Minis. The BMW i-concept [lightweight and alternative energy] will be available to all members of the group.”
The Rocketman concept is also believed to preview design cues for the next generation of Minis, including the new Coupé and Convertible, expected to arrive in 2013 and built upon the BMW Group’s new front-drive platform.
Robertson, though, stressed that a production Rocketman and the current Countryman five-door Mini would not threaten the traditional three-door car. “The core of the Mini brand is always going to be the Mini three door and Convertible,” he said.
MINI Rocketman concept approved for production - report
MINI has a knack for turning concepts into production vehicles, so it comes as little surprise the company has reportedly green-lighted the Rocketman concept.![]()
Could be launched in 2014
Set to be launched in 2014, the entry-level model will lose most of the futuristic styling details but should retain the 3+1 seating arrangement, center-mounted exhaust and two-piece tailgate with a lower section that opens like a kitchen drawer.
Engine options remain a bit of a mystery, but Auto Express says we can expect a new range of three-cylinders to be offered. Furthermore, there are rumors of an EV variant but nothing is official as of yet.

Mini cancels the mini Mini, aka the Rocketman
By Georg Kacher
The Mini Rocketman, aka the mini Mini, has been shelved, CAR understands.
BMW has recently signed off a slew of new Minis, many of which are revealed in the new February 2012 issue of CAR Magazine, but the baby Mini was not one of them.
Why BMW has canned the mini Mini
Mini showed the Rocketman concept as design study to show what a shrunken Mini true to the brand's core values could look like in the twenty first century.
It was dubbed internally the MiniMini or Mini City.
What killed the charming yet extremely short-wheelbase 3050mm urban runabut was not marketing or costs but the fact that the radically shrunk new platform threw up all sorts of new problems.
Such as...
Munich would have had to invest considerable amounts to make a Mini Rocketman-sized city car meet current regulations.
Chief among the problems were the stability, handling and crash performance of a baby Mini.
Mini originally showed the Rocketman concept car at the 2011 Geneva motor show. CAR's sources suggested a shrunken Mini could have been pencilled in for production around 2016.
The Rocketman concept was just 3419mm long (versus 3723mm for a current three-door Mini hatch) and 1907mm wide.
