MINI at the 2001 Frankfurt Motor Show.
Accompanying the introduction of the MINI Cooper and MINI One into the German market, the BMW Group is presenting a future-oriented concept version of the MINI.
Consistently designed for hydrogen power, the MINI Cooper hydrogen package study based on the MINI Cooper proves that the combustion engine can provide an excellent combination of emission management, low costs, a good package and driving pleasure using a combustion engine free of CO2.
The single-mode 4-cylinder power unit based on a series-production MINI engine could therefore well come with a cryogenic fuel/air mixture formation efficiently cooling the mixture drawn into the engine, giving the cylinders a better charge and boosting both engine power and efficiency in the process. In its output and consumption, the hydrogen engine will therefore equal the high standard already achieved by petrol engines today. A further feature is the contoured hydrogen tank fitted for the first time beneath the rear seats, ensuring that the supply of hydrogen, while offering the same capacity, does not take up more space than the conventional supply of petrol. In other words, both the passenger and luggage compartment are just as large as before.
The MINI is the future-oriented re-creation of a genuine original. In the guise of the MINI One and MINI Cooper, the new car offers the best technology you can find today in this segment, while at the same time bringing back the genes and characteristics of the original Mini in many emotional components.
The MINI is a genuine four-seater, the expression of a modern urban lifestyle destined to meet the demands and expectations of customers in the new millennium, regardless of fashion trends and fleeting styles. The MINI embodies the true joy of life, bringing together different classes, countries and generations.
All versions of the MINI excel through their unique, unmistakable design – all the car’s lines are pure and elegant at the same time. Designed to be a real MINI right from the start, the new car is authentic in both its looks and technical features. The MINI is dynamic and powerful, creating the impression of a car urging forward even when it is at a standstill. The special design of the engine compartment lid and the large round headlights, give the MINI its face full of character.
Inside the car, highly individual but functional instruments in the true spirit of the MINI provide precise information on the most important primary functions such as engine speed (MINI Cooper only), road speed, the fuel level and coolant temperature. In the design of the centre console, the designers and engineers have been equally creative, skillfully transferring features typical of the MINI into the 21st century.
The MINI is built at the BMW Plant in Oxford,Great Britain, according to the principles and quality requirements of BMW Group production.
