MINI and Paul Smith launch fifth collaborative car edition

MINI and British fashion designer Paul Smith have launched their fifth collaborative project, the MINI Paul Smith Edition. Based on the fourth-generation MINI Cooper, the special edition incorporates the designer’s ‘Classic with a Twist’ philosophy through various aesthetic enhancements.

Key design elements include the signature Paul Smith multi-colored stripes on the roof and steering wheel, bespoke color options such as Inspired White and Statement Grey, and Nottingham Green accents on mirror caps and grille frames. The interior features designer-branded elements including wheel caps, seats, and floor mats with the Paul Smith rabbit logo. Additionally, the vehicle includes personalized touches like ‘Hello!’ puddle lights and door sills inscribed with the phrase ‘Every day is a new beginning.’

The edition is available across several configurations, including three-door and five-door hatchbacks, as well as convertible models. Power options include the Cooper C with a 1.5-liter TwinPower Turbo engine and the Cooper S with a 2.0-liter TwinPower Turbo engine, both paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
