You can say with certainty that there is no shortage of special editions of the BMW group. The latest in a long series of vehicles with limited runs celebrated 66 years since the original mini came out. The Mini 66 collection is available in Singapore and is based on the John Cooper Works and is offered with both drive strands. Customers can order the hot hatch either with a petrol engine or a fully electric setup.
The JCW duo is only covered with six cars and probably offers the coolest bike design that Oxford currently offered. Both models drive on 18-inch John Cooper Works Rallye with self-leveling hub caps, just like on a Rolls-Royce. With “66” logos and racetracks, Mini fits into the pocket rocket that nod on the brand’s rally.
Additional improvements appear on the front fenders, where Mini uses a graphic “Est. 1959 Mini 66 years” as a homage to its origin. We would not be mentioned that the decal images are a subtle homage to the flowering period of the car in Monte Carlo rally. The classic Cooper S won the event in 1964 and repeated the feat in 1965 and 1967. Decide on the electrical model, and the lively EV receives a contrasting red-black roof.
The Mini 66 collection is all without an additional exhibition. Select the gas version (F66) and Mini gives you the well-known 2.0-liter BMW B48 from Turbo. The four-cylinder engine delivers 228 hp and 380 Nm (280 LB-FT). The automatic system at seven speeds with two couplings sends electricity to the front wheels and enables a 100 km/h sprint of 0–62 miles per hour in 6.1 seconds. Flat, the tiny but powerful assembly line is out of 250 km/h (155 miles per hour).
The purely electrical model (J01) has a single engine setup that sends 255 hp and 350 Nm (258 LB-FT) to the front wheels. However, there is hope for future RWD mini models. It easily exceeds the gas version by reaching 62 miles per hour in just 5.9 seconds, but Mini limits the top speed to 124 km/h (200 km/h).
But there is a big disadvantage on these cars. As with most BMWs and cars in Singapore, prices are astronomical due to local taxes. The electrical model costs 267,888 SGD (almost $ 208,000), while the gas variant is located an eye output of 302,888 SGD (approx. 235,000 USD).
The Mini 66 collection follows another BMW Group Special Edition, which was introduced in Singapore. The island country and the city state in Southeast Asia recently received a one-time 7-based basis on the i7 Edrive50 to celebrate its 60th anniversary. The pricing has never been announced, but the donor car alone costs 520,000 US dollars. Yes, for a base i7.
