Most powerful Mini in the world!

On annual «Festival of Speed» that will pass in English Gudvude, to visitors will suggest to admire the most powerful and ridiculous of all Mini, existing in the nature. Simply enough to look at a photo, to understand that people with the hypertrophied sense of humour created this car. On some cars especially cheerful guys already established engines from tank "Centurion" and a fighter "Spitfajr", but here to supply Mini with diesel engine Cummins QSK78 in weight in 11 300 kg anybody did not guess yet. This motor V18 has a working volume in 78 litres, is supplied by twelve turbo compressors, develops capacity in 3500 h.p. (13 770 Nm) and is specially created for installation on the career dump trucks, capable to transport cargoes in weight to 360 tons.

Founders of this grotesque do not inform, whether their child independently is capable to move or is made only for public relations. However, they will absolutely achieve the purpose – this car will not be deprived by attention. 78-litre Mini. Sounds?

Press Release

The MINI Getaway Package: for spontaneous stop-offs along the way. Cleverly packed travel set accompanies the launch of the new MINI Countryman.

Munich. We've all had one of those days when you're out in the car, the sun shining, and your thoughts turn to finding a nice rural spot for an impromptu breather. If only you'd packed the right equipment for the job in hand. Luckily, MINI is pitching in to help out. The cult British brand has come up with a handy set of items for off-the-cuff mid-journey breaks – just in time for the market launch of the MINI Countryman. The clever MINI Countryman Getaway Package can be stowed away in the new crossover model's dual-layer load compartment floor, which is separated from the regular storage space by a lid. This allows the travel set to be in place and ready for use at all times without making in-roads into interior space.

The set includes the MINI Countryman Seats, two comfortable folding wooden chairs in characteristic MINI design. Their durable canvas surface comes in an easy Racing Check or stylised Union Jack look, both in dark grey against a black background. Roomy outside pockets can be attached to the sides of the Countryman Seats using press studs, while a carry bag makes the chairs easy to transport. The MINI Countryman Seats can also be converted into tables with the help of a wooden board. Now nothing can get in the way of a picnic in the great outdoors. And, as it happens, the convertible seats also do an excellent job inside. The MINI Countryman Seats are available as a set consisting of two chairs and a table top. Extra seats can be purchased individually should your random excursions grow in popularity.

An essential feature of the Getaway Package is the MINI Five-In-One Cover. This multifunctional cover in Chequered Flag design is a poncho, sleeping bag, awning, picnic blanket and bed cover in one, and makes the ideal accessory for those more extended stops during a journey. The loops and ties on the four corners help to make the most of the cover's various functions, and the bag for the cover doubles up as a handy cushion.

The new MINI Countryman Boots, meanwhile, ensure that your feet stay dry on cross-country hikes. With their Union Jack/Rockstyle Print/Countryman design, the black unisex Wellington boots cut a seriously cool figure. The British flag also makes an appearance in the inside pattern of the boots.

The MINI Parka, a contemporary interpretation of the classic M51 Fishtail, also protects against the vagaries of the weather. The olive-green unisex hooded jacket embodies a stylish Mod look, complemented by a selection of neat patches which can be attached on the left sleeve using a Velcro-type fastener.

The Getaway Package also contains a change of shirt, should fresh togs be required. The limited-edition MINI Countryman Tee suits MINI down to the ground and adds a touch of fashionable chic with its funky gift packaging for him or her, catchy shade of lilac and print of the new MINI model.

Spur-of-the-moment picnic or brief saunter into the countryside, the MINI Countryman Getaway Package ensures you are ready for anything. The set will be available from the launch of the new MINI model in September 2010. Customers will be able to order the Getaway Package – as well as the other MINI Collection items – from the MINI Online Shop at www.MINI.de/shop and at selected MINI dealers.

Mini Crossman 2010

Introduced last March in Geneva as concept - because under the appellation Crossover Concept, the next Tiny 4x4 performs the last turns of wheels and will be officially called Crossman in the marketing in the first quarter 2010.Bigger than the Tiny classic, about 4 metres, Mini Crossman is meant to be a baroudeuse of cities " Lifestyle ".

Very close from the point of view of style that a Tiny classic, the city-dweller very - way will free itself therefore notably from it thanks to an entire transmission. Moreover, his interesting wheelbase, undoubtedly above 2,60 m, should be pledge of a very correct habitability. Side modularité, Crossman will have a priori rabattables and retractable seats, while the access aboard for the passengers could be made easier - as on Clubman - by an antagonistic opening of the door righthand.

Under the bonnet, Crossman will take back the range of existent motorisation, notably that of the version Cooper 1.6 THP of 175 horses. So, with Crossman, Tiny really intends to continue going surfing on the success of its city-dweller whose success story since the resumption of mark by BMW in 2001 is indisputable, especially to the female race and urban categories.

MINI Crossover Concept

At first glance the little hatch above may look like the Infiniti FX. It is actually BMW MINI’s third variant in its line-up of “New MINIs” and it will be an all-wheel drive type of vehicle.



MINI will be previewing the upcoming MINI crossover “softroader” SUV (reportedly going to be called the “Crossman”) at the 2008 Paris Motor Show.

The MINI Crossover Concept rides on a 2606mm wheelbase (longer than the Cooper’s 2466mm and Clubman’s 2547.6mm) and has a conventional four doors with two on each side of the car. The driver’s side has no B-pillar so that particular door is of a sliding type that slides to the rear to open. The rear hatch once again opens with a split in the middle, so I suppose you could call this a 6-door hatchback?

The focus of the interior is the “MINI Centre Globe” which is installed in the place of where you’d typically expect the giant speedometer to be. The 3D sphere uses laser projection to display two different views if viewed from different positions. This allows the front passenger and front driver to view different displays from the same MINI Centre Globe.

It’s quite obvious that BMW ConnectedDrive will come to the MINI brand soon enough because the press release also indicates the ability for the front passenger to surf the web from the MINI Centre Globe display, and ease of data input is facilitated by a keyboard that can slide out from the front dashboard on the passenger side. Steering-wheel controls typically use buttons or scrollwheels but in the MINI Crossover Concept, a trackball is used.

The starter system gimmick is also integrated into the MINI Centre Globe. Instead of a keyfob, a Keyball is used. The Keyball is inserted into an opening in the upper edge of the globe. It will then roll down towards the driver along the middle of the globe.



The driver can then press the Keyball to start the engine. When the engine needs to be turned off, the ball is pressed again and it will then roll down into its housing bay where it can be removed.
