Mini is still considering turning the Rocketman concept into a production vehicle.
The car’s compact footprint, nearly identical in size to the 1959 original, is a hurdle.
Today's cars must meet stricter safety standards and feature a lot more technology than they did 15 years ago.
In 2011, Mini unveiled an interesting city car concept that never made production. It was called the Rocketman, and while the world may have already forgotten about the tiny runabout, Mini has not.
In an interview with Auto Express, Holger Hampf, Mini’s head of design, revealed that the company is still considering a production version of the car. He called it an "exciting project," with the company attempting to see what it can fit "into such a small, 3.6-meter (147.7-inch) car."
