About this work
Mini (BMW Group) on a country lane in the Börnste hamlet, Kirchspiel, Dülmen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany The vehicle was illuminated from the front and from the side. The Mini dates back to the classic Mini from 1959, which was developed by Alec Issigonis for the British Motor Corporation. With its transversely mounted engine and front-wheel drive, it was revolutionary in terms of space efficiency and became a cult car of the 1960s. After several changes of ownership, BMW took over the brand and launched a modern reissue in 2001. The new Mini was larger and safer, but retained the retro design with round headlights and a contrasting roof. The modern Mini stands for compact size, a sporty “go-kart feeling”, individual design options, and modern technology—from the classic 3-door model to the electric version.
