Mini Superleggera Vision Concept – a very different MINi Concept – at Villa D’Este

The Mini Superleggera Vision Concept (pictured) is a Villa D’Este special We’ve had our fill of VW Group concepts for Worthersee – like the Skoda CitiJet, Yeti XTreme and Audi A3 Clubsport - this last week, but now we’ve got a concept from MINI that isn’t just the usual slightly left-field take on a regular MINI, but a real original to grab our interest – the Mini Superleggera Vision Concept – and it’s heading to Villa D’Este. Built in collaboration with Touring Superleggera – which has built stunning concepts like the Alfa Romeo Disco Volante - the new MINI is a retro-looking small roadster with lots of historic design cues but with an EV powertrain under its clothes. There’s a fin on the back that looks like a Jaguar D Type, a pair of swage lines down the side, a long bonnet, a back end that has a hint of Aston Martin and even Union Jacks in the tail lights.

Aston Martin N420 – The Video

The Aston Martin V8 Vantage N420 - video below We have a predisposition to lusting after anything from Aston Martin (apart, perhaps, from monstrous Lagonda SUVs), even when their performance is just average. They just look so good – even standing still – that they make your heart miss a beat every time you catch site of one on the drive. Or most anywhere else, for that matter.

Warning: Coarse language ahead. Notable Atlanta car guy, Grammy-wining rapper and barbershop owner Killer Mike might be the first rapper to shout out Autoweek from the stage of a major music festival. He and his musical collaborator, the Brooklyn-based indie-rap mogul and DeLorean devotee El-P, put out the critically acclaimed, self-titled album “Run the Jewels” over the summer and, on Wednesday, they released the video for a single called “Banana Clipper,” which features legendary Cadillac man Big Boi.
