MINI Information

MINI inspires people since 1959. When engineer Alec Issigonis designed the first ever Classic Mini, nobody knew what a legend it would become. The smart, revolutionary design developed in a time of limitations broke conventions from the very start. Its unique approach, the creative use of space, has remained at the core of the brand until today. With auto racer and car maker John Cooper joining the team in the 1960s, the Classic Mini received its famous Rallye personality. The unmatched go-kart feeling which still distinguishes MINI is based on his courage and sense for adventure. Since MINI joined the BMW Group in 2001 the go-kart family has steadily grown. They all stand proudly in line as MINI celebrates its 60th birthday in 2019 welcoming the two latest newcomers: the MINI 60 Years Edition, a beacon of heritage and modernism designed especially for the jubilee, and the first all-electric MINI, the MINI Electric, that marks the starting point of a new era.
