Limited Edition 2021 Mini Coral Red Edition Will Be Used To Pay Homage To The Hardtop
MINI has announced a special edition version of its iconic hardtop. The vehicle is called the 2021 MINI Coral Red Edition Hardtop.
It will be offered in Cooper S two-door and four-door Hardtop models. Both versions of the car are expected to hit dealerships in the US next month. Though it will be available in a very limited run there.
In 1979, Mini had a special 20th Anniversary Edition model called The Mini 1100 Special. It had Metallic Rose or Metallic Silver paint options, along with a Clubman-style bumper. It also had a black-centred grille and vinyl roof, coloured differently depending on the body colour.
Mini wants to pay homage to that special model with the introduction of the 2021 Coral Red Edition for both 2- and 4-door Mini Cooper Hardtop models.
What is exclusive to the limited-edition vehicle is the appearance with a Coral Red Metallic paint colour usually only offered on the MINI Clubman model.
In the limited-edition cars, the red paint colour is offset with a black roof and mirror caps. The vehicle also gets many design elements in Piano Black colour, including headlight rings, fog light rings, and grill frame. The door handles, and MINI Wings badges are also black.
The interior of the vehicle is done up in matching Piano Black trim with Carbon Black leatherette upholstery. Coral Red Edition vehicles will also feature standard LED headlights and fog lights with Union Jack LED taillights. The rides also get 17-inch Rail Spoke two-tone wheels.
The special edition vehicles are meant to pay homage to the special edition that MINI launched in 1979. That vehicle was the 20th Anniversary Edition called the Mini 1100 Special. That vehicle was cosmetically upgraded and offered in unique Metallic Rose or Metallic Silver paint with chrome Clubman-style bumpers. It also featured a black centre grill and a vinyl roof that was tan for the Rose and Black for the silver.
Only 300 units of the 2021 Mini Coral Red Edition will be made for the U.S. market and will reach dealerships later this month.
