Mini Rocketman thinks it's gonna be a really short, short time

It's the Mini of the Future, if the future is smaller and lighter than the present, and only seats three. Actually, it's the mini of the past too, since it's only a few centimeters off of the 1959 original.

The future part actually refers to the car's lightweight carbon-fiber spaceframe construction and extra-wide-opening doors by way of double-hinged joints. Indeed, the future will accommodate the tall and stout as well. A Mini that's actually mini? That sounds ludicrous.
