On the 16th, MINI collaborated with Austrian design studio "Vagabund" to announce two original "MINI Countryman" show cars that combine adventurous spirit, music, and community culture.

This project is the result of reinterpreting the vehicle personalization tradition, the core value of the MINI brand, into a modern festival lifestyle. The two vehicles, which were created through collaboration, show contrasting charms based on the colors of "Melting Silver" and "Midnight Black," respectively. The silver model added sand and white details to emphasize pleasant and light graphics, and the black model was completed with a precise and technical design in a single color.Technically, we have enhanced off-road character and visual dynamics based on the MINI Countryman SALL4 model.

The garage was raised to highlight the driving image of the ramp, and the newly designed wheel arch and front bumper attachments provided a wider and stronger appearance. In particular, the 20-inch wheel is equipped with a 3D-printed closed wheel cover reminiscent of a speaker unit, enhancing unity with the design theme "Sound System." The roof rack also combined laser-cut aluminum sheets and stainless steel meshes to visually homage the design language of the speaker grill.

The most innovative change is the transformation of the vehicle itself into one mobile sound stage. The rear side glass was removed and a special sound system for outdoor sound projection was installed in its place. The housing material used polymer granits optimized for precise sound reproduction, and incorporated Twitter and mid-range speakers directly into the body. When the tailgate is opened, a powerful subwoofer operates to provide an immersive audio experience, and if the two vehicles are operated together, they act as a huge mobile stage.

In addition, on the other side of the vehicle, a classic walkman mounted on a 3D printing housing was placed to harmonize analog nostalgia and advanced technology.Holger Hamp, general manager of MINI design, explained that the collaboration is an example of MINI's own character, which combines lifestyle, function, and fun, with technical craftsmanship.
