2011 MINI Cooper Rocketman

MINI introduced the Rocketman at the Geneva Auto Show of 2011. The design and execution were supposed to be faithful to the original Mini in an effort to return to the roots of the brand. At 11’3” long, it is only a bit larger than the original and came with 78 mpg. The Rocketman failed to launch, however. The offerings of the brand started to get bigger, have more features, and leave the ‘mini’ part behind.

2012 Mercedes-Benz Ener-G-Force

The Mercedes-Benz Ener-G-Force is a new take on off-road law enforcement vehicles. It was designed as the evolution of the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon. This fuel cell-powered bruiser has an adjustable suspension as well as a roof-mounted 360-degree topography scanner. It is debatable if law enforcement agencies would use it, but its capabilities could have been adapted to other Mercedes models. Sadly, nothing ever came out of this concept car.
