The Mini Superleggera Vision is one of the Mini entries the open record knows by name and by date — in 2014, and by little else. That is not nothing: a name in the catalogue is where a car's story starts to be recoverable.
The background
The Mini Superleggera Vision is a concept car unveiled by Mini in 2014. Developed in collaboration with the Italian coachbuilder Touring Superleggera, the two-seat roadster was designed as a modern interpretation of classic British and Italian automotive styling and served as a preview of a potential future open-top Mini model.
Where it sits
Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Ford Escort, the Chevrolet Camaro, the Infiniti Q50 — show what else the money bought that year. Its Mini stablemates include the MINI Beachcomber and the Mini (3rd Generation).
