MINI Malaysia has just unveiled two new British-inspired additions to their MINI line-up that’s dubbed the MINI Cooper Baker Street and MINI Cooper S Bayswater at the MINI Adrenaline Auto Bavaria Roadshow at One Utama Shopping Centre, and the best part of it is that these 2 cars will be on a limited production run.

<!--more-->On hand for the unveiling was Dr. Gerhard Pils, the recently appointed President of BMW Group Malaysia to introduce the new MINI Design Edition and had this to say: “The MINI brand has always been synonymous with excitement and being unconventional. The new MINI Design Edition is no different. The cars are equipped to be unique and they are meant for customers who are not only looking for something different in cars but also something special in their MINIs.”



The MINI Cooper Baker Street gets a few new exterior colours to spoil you on choice with Rooftop Grey, Pepper White and Midnight Black, where all colours are matched with black roofing as it rolls on 16” aluminium 6-Star Twin-Spoke rims submerged in Nightfever Black as special MINI Baker Street adorn the Cooper that’s found on the bonnet stripes, mirror caps and front wings – announcing it’s break-away from the usual MINI designs. This is especially so when the interior gets the MINI Baker Street signature Cross Check design, which adds to the contrast of the Rooftop Grey Light finishes.



With regards to ingress and egress, the MINI Cooper Baker Street edition does well to remind you which model you’re in with special inscriptions being found on the entry strips, side scuttle, door sill finishes, seat badges.

However, the matter under the bonnet is what usually counts and it does well to provide 120bhp from it’s 1.6L displacement, allowing for a century sprint time of 10.4s and still able to putter along as it sips on 6.7L of petrol for every 100km and emitting an average of only 156g/km of CO2.



As for the MINI Cooper S Bayswater, it comes in Kite Blue Metallic as well as Eclipse Grey Metallic and Midnight Black Metallic, which rolls on larger 17” Sanblast Turned light alloy rims in Jet Black with the model name proudly displayed on the front wings and easily recognisable bonnet stripes for easy identification.



Is all about the feel of performance and sportiness for the Bayswater edition, which is ever so eager to impress its looks upon onlookers as athletic and somewhat aggressive and it seems to be able to remind you of that as well on the interior with Punch Rocklike Anthracite leather trims that comes with contrasting stitches in a choice of either Blue or Brown.



As usual, MINI Bayswater badges are displayed loud and clear on the seats and door sill finishers. The gearshift and handbrake gaiters are also made of leather with a choice of either Blue or Brown stitching allowing you to enjoy the go-kart-like handling with 184bhp and 240Nm of torque from its turbo-charged 1.6L 4-potter.

The MINI Design Edition cars will be on display at the MINI Adrenaline Auto Bavaria Roadshow at One Utama Shopping Centre from Wednesday 11th July 2012 to Sunday, 15th July 2012.
