They say that first impression defines how well a vehicle will sell after it debuts and if there is any truth in that statement, then MINI will surely be smiling at their latest pickup truck concept.
The classy British carmaker has launched a variety of vehicles ever since BMW acquired the brand. However, none of those vehicles are as exotic as this latest concept, which shows a MINI pickup truck.
Known as the Paceman Adventure, the images was released by MINI and it has gone viral ever since. The concept was developed by young students and their instructors from the BMW plants in Munich and Dingolfing.
The Paceman Adventure will be an AWD vehicle that is powered by a 182hp turbocharged engine. It will also feature a cargo bed with a functional tail gate, and a solid roof rack with a set of auxiliary lights and a spare tire.
When viewing the image, one can see that the Paceman Adventure is identical to the original Paceman except that it has got the rear seats removed and replaced by an open rear cabin. Another thing to note is that the MINI pickup truck has tall suspensions for high ground clearance and off-road tyres.
MINI confirmed that the Paceman Adventure will be able to handle gravel roads, muddy tracks, desert trails and even crossing a difficult river. Then again, the Paceman Adventure will be a one-off creation instead of a series production.
