Mini Clubman Vision Gran Turismo Discussion Thread

http://www.gran-turismo.com/us/news/00_8401953.html

This is NOT a thread to post your wishlists about what other Minis you would like in GT. This thread is to discuss the teasers, sketches and pictures for the Mini Vision GT.

24/02

From the GTP news page: https://www.gtplanet.net/gt6-screenshots-reveal-new-john-cooper-works-mini/

Two screenshots of a Mini John Cooper Works model have recently appeared. Could this be a teaser of Mini's VGT project, or is it something completely different?

Discuss.

UPDATE:

Sketches appear to confirm Mini Clubman Vision Gran Turismo.

25/02 UPDATE 2: New Teasers

Intriguing... I actually hope it isn't the VGT, for the simple reason that if it isn't, then we get this and the mini VGT!

 

[SomePlayaDude]

I'm not sure we're on for a 500pp VGT.

 

[gambleboyen]

A VGT that looks just like the normal car? Ok.

 

[eran0004]

It's the VGT. Those X headlights kind of gives it away.

Nice homage, btw.

 

[SVX]

Maybe this is what Kaz means by human drama, nothing and then WHAMMO, give us nearly a heart attack with all the news.

Mini Vision Gran Turismo?

Yes.

This car name is MINI Clubman Vision Gran Turismo.



These pictures are very large.

 

[Spongeinside]

I'm guessing it's the VGT aswell.. Hope they did something special with it to make it stand out from 'regular' mini's

 

[NW48]

A possible Mini John Cooper Works VGT... Not bad.

Lets just hope it happens!

EDIT- Nevermind. That post above is enough evidence.

 

[AudiMan2011]

OP updated with the sketches. Someone inform @Jordan.

Resizing images

 

[NW48]

It's not ugly but it isn't stunning.

A bit 50/50 so far...

 

[AleksandarSRB]

Look like Golf from the back

 

[Nexus]

I actually kinda like it. Wondering what the engine and drivetrain will be.

 

[D-Mind]

I like it way more than the new Mini's so far!

 

[Carffeine]

OP updated with the sketches. Someone inform @Jordan.

I posted a message on his profile page.

 

[05XR8]

Look like the Mini Rocketman Concept. The size of the original Mini.

 

[Legro]

The front looks like an angry fish.

I actually kinda like it. Wondering what the engine and drivetrain will be.

I'm guessing 2.0 turbo and front based 4WD.

It reminds me of the BMW VGT. I hope it's got similar specs to that one so they can race against each other.

Clubman Concept

 

[vasiliflame]

Not exactly mini is it . I hoped they would pay homage to the original mini not then Germans interpretation of a mini. This car is as important to the UK as the model t ford was for America .. hope we get the union jack roof on it at least.

Are the last pictures official as it just looks like a photoshop chop to me

 

[05XR8]

I'm sure its it's own thing. Power might be 400hp. The Golf is 500+?

 

[Nico_Ble99]

Hmm hmm. This sure Looks interesting. Looking forward to the next screenshots.

 

[sparkytooth]

I like this Mini.

 

[Ryk]

Does look like the car has a few extra pounds.
Introducing the new ...
Mini "Used to be a Dancer"
Mini "But I'm big boned"
Mini "Call that a doughnut, This is a Box of Doughnuts, Omnomnom." (Cut to porky car spinning around in a cloud of tyre smoke and crumbs.)

If they ditched the "Mini" branding and just called it an Augustus by BMW.

....

Now that Rocket Man concept is much more on the podium spraying champagne.
Like a Valtteri Bottas compared to Augustus Gloop (2007)

 

[pasigiri]

TBH, I've been wanting something like:

I'm not too much a fan of the new front ends on Minis.

 

[eightyeight]

When will MINI learn that the tail lights should be vertical. That awkward design boundary of staying retro but doing new things doesn't work. Though I'm intrigued to drive this, FF, FR or 4WD?
All this news is going to make me fire up GT6 when the update comes out.

 

[StigBelcherStyl]

The Mini Range,

Was thinking it was somewhat similar to the Mini Coupe

 

[grind mouse]

I like all the new features that will be added to the game but the Mini,
I would have hoped that the Vision MINI GT was created on this basis:

And if PD listen us ,please fix the engine sound "in game" of Bmw z4 gt3 and m3 gt2's

 

[Teal]

I think it looks really sweet. I'd like to see some of the newer MINi's in the game. The JCW Roadster/Coupe would be nice, aswell as an All4 Countryman. It would be really cool if they put in a LoTSC R52 Sidewalk. But I'm happy with this VGT
