Mini Paceman Adventure Concept Feels Like German El Camino

Mini Paceman Adventure Concept Feels Like German El Camino

Do you like cars? Do you like pickup trucks? Do you wish there was a German version of the El Camino? We can’t imagine anyone ever having a serious conversation about producing a modern, German version of the El Camino, but that didn’t stop a class of students and instructors at the BMW headquarters from creating a one-off pickup based on the Mini Cooper S Paceman. Mini won’t really go into specifics about the project dubbed the Paceman Adventure Concept, but we were unable to find a few details. It’s powered by a turbocharged 1.6L four-cylinder engine. It’s got the ALL4 AWD system. It sits on a modified chassis with additional ground clearance, has a pickup bed, offroad tires and roof rack, and a snorkel air intake. If this thing ever actually saw production we might be tempted to buy one.
