The three-door vehicle draws from the original [MINI Cooper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-ev) model, which made its debut more than 60 years ago. However, it revamps its design with all-new spaceship-like features such as a radiator griller, all-around illumination, green LED contouring, and extra smooth surfaces. What's more, the car will arrive with "precision" edges that will serve to balance out its sleek finishes. Meanwhile, the interior of the car features knitted textiles instead of leather and a high-tech OLED navigation display. For those interested, the new MINI Concept Aceman will make its official debut at the end of August at Gamescom 2022 in Cologne.
