MINI doesn’t settle to be just another face in the crowd. And with such versatility in style and personality to show off, one isn’t surprised why. Smart, sporty, and fashionable, with a touch of British sensibility, a personalized MINI acts as a brother in arms as you navigate your way through urban terrain.
Showcasing its ever-entrepreneurial design spirit, MINI is unleashing three new special editions onto the scene. Each new model features materials and customizable options that are only available for these unique cars. Carefully selected, these finer distinctions place the new 2012 Exclusive Design Models in a class all their own.
The MINI Bayswater is not a ride for the camera shy. Sporty and agile, this chic new MINI draws inspiration from the fashionable borough of London that bears its namesake. Known for its shopping and high-end restaurants, Bayswater is a place made for the limelight. We thought the designer’s choice of a Kite Blue Metallic body with the newly available Bonnet Stripe down its center and a clean black roof makes for a striking image. Rocklike Anthracite leather seats and stainless steel pedals ensure this exclusive MINI is brimming with character.

The MINI Cabrio Highgate hails from the exclusive residential district of the Kingdom’s capital, an area noted for its historic architecture and expansive green parks. Inside and out, we found the MINI Cabrio Highgate to be a true stand out. Dipped in what has to be one of the coolest sounding colors — Iced Chocolate Metallic — it gives off a muted but noble look. Catch a glimpse of it in the sunlight though and you’ll see some delicate shimmers of blue glowing underneath, and even a little unexpected sheen from the Silvertouched Brown soft top. Add to that the brown and black bonnet stripes accented with slim blue edges, it’s regal leather interior marked with bright blue piping and its stainless steel pedals, and you’ve got one finely dressed MINI.

Finally, The MINI Baker Street is stylish, bold, and not afraid of a little extravagance. More squarely put: a true individual and a trendsetter. It gets its name from none other than 221B Baker Street, the residence of the world’s most famous fictional detective. Sporting classy black bonnet stripes while featuring a chrome-lined interior and design subtleties like diamond-patterned seats, the MINI Baker Street stands charming, sleek, and modern.
