Aceman Pushes The Limits of Futuristic Design & Technologies

Iconic British car maker Mini has just unveiled a small, electric SUV concept called Aceman.  In terms of Mini's classic styling, Aceman breaks the mold.  It is futuristic and reflects how Mini is reinventing itself.  Aceman abandons Mini's cute, rounded headlights for more geometric themes. The body of the car is smooth with futuristic, angular touches here and there. Aceman is a very colorful, digital lightshow on wheels. Mini is owned by BMW, which wants at least half of its lineup electrified by 2030.  Aceman's is Mini's first, electric crossover.  Mini wants all of its lineup electrified by 2030.

Brand New Design

For Mini, Aceman represents how it is reinventing itself for the new electrified marketplace.  According to Mini top management, Aceman has "an electrified go-cart feel, an immersive digital experience and a minimal environmental footprint".  There is an octagonal front grill decorated with lights and geometric headlights. The dashboard is minimalist with one spectacular central display that is the information and entertainment center of the vehicle.  It has sensor-based animation that extends from the display to the dashboard and doors.  Aceman will make its official debut on August 23, 2022 in Cologne, Germany.  It sounds like a spectacular new EV.
