MINI’s showstopper at Geneva, the Rocketman, could well hit production after a top BMW executive hinted at the car’s potential future. The Rocketman is a nod to the original Mini with its tiny size and cute details.

BMW’s sales and marketing head honcho, Ian Robertson, told Autocar: "We are good at looking at history and interpreting a future for it,"

"The themes in the car are not just about a smaller Mini," he continued. "Lightweight construction and new types of components will go on to Minis. The BMW i-concept will be available to all members of the group."

If the Rocketman was to go into production, would you buy it over a standard Cooper?
