Hey, why not go back and ruin the past some more, Chip?

One of the most beloved non-luxury British cars is the Mini. Made by too many companies for our little American minds to grasp, the brand was finally acquired by BMW in 2000. That meant a healthy injection of German sensibilities and styling going into the thing, which over time has only increased. Not everyone’s happy about that change, but it does mean we have Minis all over in North America, for better or worse.

Anyway, Chip Foose decided to redesign the classic Mini with BMW M3 sensibilities, because after all why would you want a purely British version of the car?

We’ve seen Foose do some pretty controversial car sketches in the past, including turning the first-gen Ford Bronco into a hotrod and simplifying the Lamborghini Countach. He’s also made designs people pretty much agree are good, like when he reworked the AMC Pacer into a much cleaner, more attractive car.
