MINI Rickshaw
MINI says the rear end of the Cooper, strapped to a human, "perfectly captures Beijing's dynamic combination of tradition and progress, coupled with a touch of fantasy and individuality - as only MINI can do." We cautiously note its literal connection to a sort of indentured servitude the People's Republic has turned into performance art, too.
The zero-emission hybrid MINI is actually derived from a Clubman, and it's patrolling the hotspots in Beijing during the Games, which run through August 18th. About 2200 MINIs have been sold thus far in China in 2008, giving the little Cooper a bigger presence than ever before.
