Mini is presenting a new concept at the upcoming 2010 Detroit Auto Show which in some respect comes closer to Jeep Wrangler than any other vehicle. The Mini Beachcomber was inspired by Mini Moke popular in 1960’s. While it might appear that the concept is not completely developed, because of the lack of several body parts, the manufacturer says that the Beachcomber will do fine without doors and conventional roof, because they only “limit the intensity of the occupants’ encounter with their surrounding world”.

Outer body parts are not the only ones missing. The instrument panel has fewer objects. This was done in order to increase the number of speakers and add gadgets for off-road driving.

There are not many details unveiled about the upcoming Mini. It is going to have an all-wheel-drive and flat tires. The data on the powertrain will probably be unveiled at the show. The automaker does not clarify if the concept is going to production or not.
