The electric powered Mini Cooper SE Convertible is officially a generation automobile! Unfortunately, that creation is completely slated for Europe correct now, but if we all yell loudly more than enough, it’s possible we can get Mini to deliver some across the ocean.
In reality, the possibilities of the SE Convertible coming below are just about zero, if not zero. Mini is only making 999 of them as a modest sequence experiment of types. Its powertrain and battery pack is the exact same as the hardtop SE. That suggests it’s sporting a solitary entrance motor with 184 horsepower. The -62 mph time for the Convertible is 8.2 seconds, and the electrically operated soft major (with a Union Jack) can be deployed at speeds up to 18 mph. Selection is just 125 miles on the optimistic WLTP cycle, which is significantly significantly less than the hardtop’s max of 145 miles. Listed here in the U.S., the Mini SE is only rated for 114 miles on the EPA screening cycle. If Mini at any time brought it right here, we’d expect the Convertible to go through a equally proportioned range penalty.
Mini applies a amount of special exterior appointments to the SE Convertible. For starters, it is only likely to be readily available in possibly Enigmatic Black or White Silver. The door handles, aspect scuttles and mild/grille surrounds are then concluded in bronze. All of the logos and product lettering gets painted in a shiny black. In addition, the “E” symbol is displayed across the entrance grille with a bronze finish.
You’ll discover “1 of 999” lettering on the aspect scuttles, and if you open up the door to glimpse at the sills, the exact “1 of 999” emblem is current all over again. The steering wheel gets an “E” badge, and the inside is only accessible in a single spec. Black leather-based and heated seats come standard, and the shiny black trim does, too. Yellow accents, the identical as you get in the Hardtop, all emphasize the electric nature of the vehicle.
Creation will acquire spot in the Netherlands, and vehicles will start shipping in April this calendar year.
