Mini’s wonky-doored Clubman is soon to be replaced by a less wonky-doored successor. And… well, it probably won’t look very much like this. Sorry.

This is Mini’s Clubman Vision Gran Turismo concept, a design study cooked up in answer to Kazunori Yamauchi’s GT6 klaxon call, and one that demonstrates how the next-gen Clubman might look in a parallel racing universe.

It’s quite a thing, shamelessly melding Mini’s traditional rally cues to a bodyshape with more than a hint of VW’s Golf W12 concept from back in 2007, and blasting the resulting concoction 20 years into the future.

As you know, we at TG are suckers for a fast estate, and we reckon the Clubman - in profile at least - looks rather tidy. From what we can see, it’s a four-door - one on either side, and two at the rear in the Clubman’s traditional ‘barn door’ arrangement.



Which is your favourite Vision GT car?

Under that bodywork is an unspecified powertrain sending no fewer than 395 horsepowers to all four wheels through a sequential six-speed transmission, allowing the Clubman concept to hit a conceptual 62mph in a conceptual 3.5 seconds.

Whether that conceptual powertrain is petrol, diesel, electric, hydrogen or some combination thereof remains unclear. It is quite possible that even Mini itself isn’t quite certain yet.

We’re told the Clubman concept is built from plenty of conceptual carbon, with conceptual 22-inch wheels framing a conceptually wider track. There are many conceptual spoilers and air vents, and a conceptual top speed of 180mph.

The Clubman GT is available for download from today as part of the latest GT6 update. Where does it rank on the fine list of Vision concepts?
