According to BMW’s ‘MINI Space’ team of engineers and designers, race cars of the future may be built out of old oil drums, bomb shells and BBQ grills - oh and did we mention goldfish? While it may seem like the parts list for a race car out of a Dr. Seuss book, in reality the project by BMW to envision the race car of 2025 is a tongue-in-cheek look at what the future may hold for cars, as well as promoting its own team’s design goals of thinking of new ideas for the creative use of space.

The futuristic racer was first unveiled as part of a design competition at last year’s Los Angeles Auto Show, but now MINI Space is giving us an insider’s point of view into the car’s development.
