More on the MINI Urbanite Edition…
Created in the profile of the MINI Cooper 5 Door, the MINI Urbanite Edition exudes an assertive street character having undergone a substantial restyling to accentuate its boldness. Onlookers will initially be greeted with a distinctive additional LED Headlight – a modern touch to the classic Minis in the Monte Carlo Rallye. The MINI Urbanite Edition further demonstrates confidence by featuring the black the 16” Victory Spoke Rims with Piano Black light trims and grille. The Racing Stripes on the bonnet and along the body further underscores its dynamic design – exuding boldness with every turn it makes.
Mirroring the bold exterior approach, owners can enjoy the John Cooper Works Colour Line in Glowing Red in their MINI Urbanite Edition with Anthracite Headliner accentuating the sporty interior. On top of the MINI Connected standard feature with Bluetooth and USB, it now spots a new Rear-View Camera system with parking guidance lines and obstacle marking that detects and marks stationary objects. Getting in the driver seat, you will be greeted with a chic sport leather steering wheel.
Boasting an inline 3-cylinder engine with 4 valves per cylinder, the MINI Urbanite Edition delivers 136 horsepower and 220Nm of torque to accelerate from 0 to 100 in just 8.1 seconds with a top speed of 207km/h while only consuming an average of 5 litres per 100km of fuel.
The New MINI Urbanite Edition offers colours in mysterious Midnight Black with Red Racing Stripes, Blazing Red or Pepper White with Black Racing Stripes.
More on the MINI Amplified Edition…
In spirit of amplification, the MINI Amplified Edition is engineered based on the MINI Cooper S 3 Door for the band of energetic, sporty elites. The exterior is anything but ordinary. Underlined by the John Cooper Works Aerodynamic Kit, the MINI Amplified Edition is fitted with a striking rear spoiler – the last thing bystanders will be able to rave over as this MINI Hatch Edition disappears into the distance. The MINI Amplified Edition is equipped with new Piano Black grille and matching headlight and taillight trim for a darker appearance. The Racing Stripes design on the MINI Amplified Edition pays homage to the MINI John Cooper Works Concept car giving it an extroverted personality, while the 17” John Cooper Works Track in Black Spoke adds a touch of flare to the MINI Amplified Edition – all of which equates to an impeccable identity.
The interior boasts a perfect balance between emotion and function. The distinctive John Cooper Works Racing Seats with integrated headrests designed in Alcantara Leather with contrasting Red Dinamica are built in to secure you in place while you enjoy the dynamism around you. Besides the Anthracite Headliner, the MINI Amplified Edition now features new exclusive accents in Glowing Red which was only available on the John Cooper Works Hatch previously. The bold colour makes for an exceptional match to the contrast stitching of the 6-Speed Sports Automatic Shifter as well as the John Cooper Works Perforated Leather Steering Wheel embroidery. To enable considerably easier and safer reverse parking and manoeuvring, the new Rear View Camera provides parking guidance lines and obstacle marking that detect and mark stationary objects. As a standard, the MINI Amplified Edition comes with comfort access and Black Chequered interior trims.
On the performance level, the MINI Amplified Edition is capable of 211 horsepower and 300Nm of torque thanks to the John Cooper Works Tuning Kit and the new John Cooper Works Valve Silence System. This accelerates the MINI Amplified Edition from 0 to 100 in merely 6.7 seconds with a top speed of 233 km/h. To amplify your presence with a sporty and aggressive tone that’s tastefully louder, the MINI Amplified Edition features a new Track mode which can be activated via the John Cooper Works Bluetooth Remote Control.
