Mini
Paceman Adventure Concept
A
creative collaboration between young apprentices and their instructors at the
BMWs plant in Munich and Dingolfing has produced a completely unique vision for
MINI. Choosing the MINI Cooper S Paceman as their base model, the students
transformed the car into a two seater with a pickup style cargo area. The
powerful turbocharged engine, all-wheel drive ALL4, a modified suspension and
numerous unique features available mean this versatile car is ready for just
about anything. The name: MINI Paceman Adventure.
This
latest creative vision for the MINI brand demonstrates the level of talent at
work amongst the BMW Group's young apprentices. The MINI Paceman Adventure
combines the drive technology of the 184 hp MINI Cooper S Paceman ALL4
with an innovative two-seater pick-up vehicle concept. The passenger
compartment ends behind the front seats where the spacious cargo area for
luggage, tools and equipment begins. In addition, a solid roof rack can accommodate
a spare wheel.
The
MINI Paceman Adventure would be suitable for driving on gravel roads, through
muddy tracks or on desert trails. The pickup has the typically MINI short
overhangs, a modified chassis with extended ground clearance and much higher
front and rear clearance ramps. The snorkel-like roof level air intake means
that MINI Paceman Adventure could tackle a challenging river crossing.
Additional
lights mounted on the front cross member of the roof rack optimize visibility
at night, while special off-road tyres with wide and deep treads guarantee the
perfect traction. The MINI Paceman Adventure features exclusive Jungle Green
metallic paintwork.
The
MINI Paceman Adventure is a true one-off and there are no plans for series
production.
