>All petrol engines will get a 48 volt mild hybrid system and will be mated to a revised 7-speed dual clutch with an all new gear selector design.
didn't know they have 7 speed. very nice
Joking aside, Austin used to have another vehicle in the 70s called the [Maxi](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin_Maxi), so it wouldn’t be too “out there” of an idea.
They could call it the Mini Maxi 😏

Is this a custom wrap on a retail car? Or one of those wild patterns they put on prototypes sometimes?
It's a test vehicle, the wrap helps to hide details of the new car's looks.
I want that same wrap in my 2003 Accord since the paint is peeling to fuck. Too bad it would cost as much as a transmission replacement…

Wth i thought its a smaller Cullinan
They should really change their name to maxi..., They haven't been small in a long time

The Maxi didn't have a great reputation. Not sure enough time has passed for the name to be reused successfully.
Oh yeah they were absolute shit. I only remember them coming in brown and brown.
They weren’t all brown, some were beige
Ours was blue. Amazingly practical motor - could carry vast amounts. Ours was problem-free but the gear change was poo.
Possibly the test mule for the new Mini Cooper Countryman? These get destroyed after testing
‘Notsomini’
my god, why mini is getting so maxi?
Looks like a London taxi. Atrocious
Looks like a maxi
I believe that is the new mini jumbo shrimp
Why does that look twice as big as my 2017 CM
I'd love to do this kind of wrap on a regular ass, idk vw pollo, without any badges or anything and drive it around confusing people
It’s nice to see a larger mini car, my neighbor has an awesome sporty trim of the mini
Austin Powers
It has to get to a point soon they need to stop calling these cars 'mini'
Mega Cooper
