BMW calls off Mini Rocketman production

BMW proudly displayed the shortest ever Mini made at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. BMW has never failed to leave its rivals dumbfounded and the same happened with the Mini Rocketman concept too, though unfortunately the concept wouldn't be within the nearest vicinity of production. Built as a four seater despite the three door body style it carries, Mini Rocketman concept is just too good to be true and probably BMW has felt the same. In the struggle to come up with the safest and the most compact car, BMW has stretched its limits a little too much leading to extremely high development costs.

And this has finally made the German car manufacturer to call off the production completely as practically the car wouldn't be one of the best fits in tandem with the high price the car would have carried. What was thought to be utterly impossible had happened with the Mini Rocketman concept which is just 3 mm in length shorter than the shortest of the Mini cars, the BMW Mini Cooper by 300 mm.

It is amazing to see BMW even develop such a concept simulataneously meeting all the safety standards in Europe passing the crash tests in flying colors ensuring the saftey of the passengers while also determined to make the passengers drive worthwhile in the ultra compact car. Borrowing the deisgn lines of the Mini Rocketman concept for the future models is all BMW can do for now.
