VIDEO: The MINI Centre Globe Concept

September 24, 2008 at 5:03 pm · Filed under Automotive Videos, BMW, Cars, Concepts

When the MINI Crossover Concept was unveiled earlier this month, it featured something called the MINI Centre Globe which sort of takes the whole iDrive concept to a whole new level.

MINI’s equivalent to “iDrive” in this concept car is a giant sphere in place of where you’d expect the large speedometer to be in BMW’s new MINIs. The sphere uses laser projection to display different graphics if viewed from different positions.

Some things are just best viewed in motion, so after a jump you will find a video of the MINI Crossover Concept and you will be able to see the MINI Centre Globe in action somewhere at the end of the video.

I wonder the practicality of the Globe. Seems to me that it might cause distractions to the driver…
