(January 24, 2013) WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J.  — While fashion statements come and go, authentic style is here for the duration. As a one-off in the premium small car segment, the Mini has cemented its place in the street scene of modern cities in unmatched style.

Now the British brand is poised to unveil the Mini Clubman Bond Street design model, a special edition that delivers an eye-catching statement of signature charisma and premium quality in the process. Generously equipped and with an eye for detail, this is a Mini tailor-made for style-conscious customers of the particularly discerning variety.



The Mini Clubman Bond Street will step out for the first time to a public audience at the Geneva Motor Show in March.

The Mini Clubman Bond Street bears the name of the most exclusive shopping street in London, a place steeped in the tradition of classical style, the British way of life and the appreciation of quality. Setting off for a shopping trip here, in the heart of the City of Westminster, therefore is an expression of fine taste.

But the Mini Clubman Bond Street doesn't just cut a fine dash in terms of looks. Its Midnight Black metallic paintwork teams up with the Cool Champagne contrast color for the roof, exterior mirror caps, lower sections of the C-pillars and bonnet stripes to provide a striking showcase for the Mini

The interior includes exclusively designed sports seats and a leather-covered instrument panel - makes the perfect fit for the generous levels of on-board spaciousness.

The new Mini design model will go on sale worldwide in March with shoppers able to browse a collection of two engine variants in the U.S.: the 121-horsepower Mini Cooper Clubman and the Mini Cooper S Clubman which delivers 181 horsepower. Both engines are partnered as standard with a six-speed manual gearbox, while a six-speed automatic is available as an option.

Pricing for the U.S. model will be announced closer to the official reveal.
