Mini unveils all-electric concept car headed to Frankfurt Motor Show

Mini's upcoming electric car is slowly but surely taking shape.

Revealed just ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show, Mini has given us a glimpse at its future three-door EV. Simply known as the Mini Electric Concept, it's a rather stylish little hatchback and very recognizable as a Mini, despite some obvious differences in bodywork.

Like Mini's previous EV, the Mini E, yellow exterior accents suggest this little hatchback is all about electrons. But the latest places a large emphasis on aerodynamics, with a reworked front apron, various air deflectors and a fibreglass diffuser out back, and unique wheels, to name just a few of the tricks up the electric Mini's sleeve.

As for powertrain details, Mini has remained tight-lipped. At this point in time, all we know is the concept will feature a single electric motor. Of course, we'll know more when the Frankfurt Motor Show officially kicks off in less than two weeks.

If all goes to plan, we'll see the Mini Electric Concept enter production in two years.
