MINI Korea will release "MINI 1965 Victory Edition," a special model commemorating the classic Mini Cooper's 1965 Monte Carlo Rally victory. The edition features a modern reinterpretation of the legacy of the legendary model, which won the title with innovative technology and excellent driving performance at the time and imprinted MINI's name in world motorsport history.
The exterior has a design reminiscent of the 1965 winning vehicle. It is the first JCW model to combine white loops with a chili-red body, and white stripes are added to the bonnet and trunk door to emphasize the race sensibility. In particular, the Bonnet Stripe expressed the winning vehicle number in embossed shape at the time, and also prominently placed the "52" graphic on the side of the body. The 18-inch JCW wrap spoke two-tone alloy wheel added a dedicated wheel cap and a valve cap with a "52" numbering. In addition, the "1965" emblem commemorating the winning year was attached to the rear stripe and the top of the C-pillar.
The interior also has differentiated elements unique to the edition model. The door seal plate was equipped with a dedicated entry seal, and a mark containing participation information such as the name of the rally participant and the vehicle number was attached above the door latch. "1965" lettering was engraved on the fabric strap and center console box at the bottom of the JCW Sports steering wheel, and the "52" number was applied to the dedicated key cap to add speciality.
The power train comes in two specifications: pure electricity and internal combustion engines. The pure electric model "Dior-Electric MINI JCW" has a maximum output of 258 horsepower and a maximum torque of 35.7kg·m, recording a zero-back of 5.9 seconds and a single charging mileage of 291km. The internal combustion engine model "The MINI JCW" is equipped with a gasoline engine with a maximum output of 231 horsepower, a maximum torque of 38.8kg/m, and a seven-speed steptronic sports double clutch transmission to perform zero-back 6.1 seconds.
Both models are equipped with the latest safety and convenience specifications such as "Driving Assistant Plus" with active cruise control and lane keeping assist, "Parking Assistant Plus" with surround views, and T-map-based Korean MINI navigation.
Only 25 pure electric models and 50 internal combustion engine models will be sold for this edition through 'MINI Shop Online'. The price was set at 61.5 million won for Dior-Electric MINI JCW Victory Edition and 56.1 million won for The MINI JCW Victory Edition. Starting with this model, MINI Korea plans to introduce a total of 11 new editions that reflect customers' tastes sequentially throughout the year.
