Mini Now at Retirement Age – Still Going Strong

On August 26th, 2024, Mini turned 65. Since its inception in 1959, Mini has captivated owners with a mix of style, agility, and innovation.

In this special year Mini introduces an all-new Cooper, Countryman, and Aceman. The latter is all electric, with 135kW of power and 310km of range. Think of it as a smaller version of Countryman which has become rather less than mini. The latter can also be had as an electric variant. 

These new models represent the next chapter in Mini’s history, combining technology and driving excitement that are Mini hallmarks.

Also coming soon is the new John Cooper Works line-up, available in both petrol and electric versions. These high-performance models reflect Mini’s racing heritage, offering four-cylinder turbo power or zero-emissions electric performance.

This year also marks the 60th anniversary of Mini’s first victory at the Monte Carlo Rally, an achievement that solidified the brand’s reputation in motorsport.

Mini also won a category victory at this year’s 24 Hours of Nürburgring race, with a John Cooper Works PROtotype prepared by Bulldog Racing.

Mini looks forward to continuing its legacy of innovation, racing success, and driving excitement.
