Well, how long have we not been waiting for this great news – an electric car as convertible! It will be insanely interesting to hopefully be able to test drive and experience this car not too long in the future. It should really be an even better experience as electric – to be able to even better hear the pleasant noice from singing birds, the nature and environment while driving.
The new electrical car is named Mini Cooper SE Convertible and will be made in an exclusive amount of 999 cars. The manufacturing for the European market starts in April.
The convertible will have the same drivetrain and battery pack as the “normal” Mini Cooper SE (the electrical version). The engine produces 184 bhp and the range will be 201 kilometers.
It is now three years since the all electric Mini Cooper SE was launched. 20% of all Mini cars that are sold today is this fully electrical version.
– This success has encouraged us to implement this small series of Mini Cooper SE Convertible in just a few months from now. I am glad that we will be able to offer 999 Mini customers their extraordinary and exclusive outdoor go-cart feeling, says Stefanie Wurst, manager of the Mini brand.
The convertible is a four seater. It will come with leather sport seats and sport steering wheel in nappa leather as standard. Heating in the seats and steering wheel is a great feature for the Nordic (sometimes cold) summer climate.
The car will be available in two colours: Enigmatic Black and White Silver. Number 1 to 999 will be marked in the bottom panels of the the in-step to the car and as side panels on the outside.
Right now, it is not clear how many will come to Sweden or the Nordics. It is not clear either what the price might be. The base price for the standard (non convertible) Mini Cooper SE is about 39 000 EUR and for the fully equipped version about 45 000 EUR.
We hope, quite naturally, that we will have a large amount of the 999 to the Nordic market. I will personally keep a close eye on where it might be available to check out and test drive – that should be really interesting to experience. Perhaps we have a lucky customer to us, that has got his/hers hands on one of these 999? Then please get in contact and book a visit to Toplift at Orust – perhaps if I am really lucky, you could take me along for a short drive?
