The MINI Cooper is likely one of the cutest automobiles in historical past. It all the time appears so fashionable, and it makes one fondly consider a distinct period, or Bond movies, or one thing else enjoyable and mysterious. We simply noticed a convertible model at present, and we admired how cool it appeared. By the way, quickly, convertible MINI Coopers we see out on the highway might be electrical. That’s as a result of the primary electrical convertible MINI Cooper SE is now within the works.

This success has spurred us to implement the small sequence of the MINI Cooper SE Convertible inside just a few months. I’m delighted that we will provide 999 MINI clients a unprecedented and unique open-air go-kart feeling,” says Stefanie Wurst, Head of the MINI Model.
