MINI of Italy has created a gorgeous concept based on the Clubman All4 that takes inspiration from BMW’s own R nineT Scrambler. And it happens to be absolutely gorgeous with plenty of bespoke elements and a OEM+ philosophy. But will it actually be built?

The concept features two-tone frozen are and frozen black exterior with a gorgeous camel leather interior. But the standout is the raised suspension, rugged tires and giant spotlights. The look feels very rally inspired and inline with a lot of the aftermarket rally Porsche 911s that seem to be everywhere.

The big question of course is will MINI build it? Unfortunately they won’t. As much as it has sen critical acclaim and plenty of excitement, an off-road Clubman was never planned for and by the time MINI would engineer it properly and build it, the car would likely be out of production. But that doesn’t mean we won’t see aftermarket versions of it.
