Singapore. In 1969, the first Mini Clubman made a
clear statement, which designer Roy Haynes put in these words:
"The impression that only ugly things can be functional has
disappeared." The exceptional car with style caused a sensation
from the start between 1969 and 1981 with its characteristic split
doors at the rear. At that time, the Mini Clubman conquered the
automotive market as a station wagon with a long wheelbase and
extended shooting-brake body.
For the new edition from 2007, the MINI Clubman delivers a
modern interpretation of the classic shooting-brake concept. For
access to the rear, there is only one door on the right side of the
vehicle, which opens to the rear. With the third model generation from
2015, the MINI Clubman grows again to now 4.25 meters in length and
becomes more spacious and comfortable thanks to the longer wheelbase
and two full-sized rear side doors.
Together with the unique split rear doors, the MINI Clubman
remains one of the most versatile MINI models to date. The spacious
load opening makes it easy to load the luggage compartment, which
currently holds up to 1,250 liters. Now limited to 1,969 units
globally – with 5 allocated for Singapore – the Final Edition cites
the year in which the legendary Mini Clubman was created and combines
the specific brand tradition with exclusive design elements and strong
characteristics.
“Throughout its over 50 year-long lifespan, the MINI Clubman has always been a head turner,” said Mr. Daren Ching, Head of MINI Asia. “A fan favourite, it oozes style and panache, delivering a sense of pride and wide smiles to every owner behind the wheel. Now, it is only fitting that the MINI Clubman gets a spectacular send-off to pay tribute to a car has defined a generation of motoring inspiration and functionality.”
The most exclusive of its kind.
Powered by a four-cylinder petrol engine with MINI TwinPower
Turbo Technology delivering 178hp, the MINI Clubman Final Edition is
offered in the Cooper S variant that has always stood for driving
dynamics, style, and comfort.
As a special edition, it is available in Nanuq White, Enigmatic
Black, and Melting Silver. With charismatic details in the colour
Shimmer Copper, the limited edition refers to the design history of
the exceptional talent. The surrounds and the upper third of the
radiator grille crossbar are in the shimmering edition colour, as are
the model-typical MINI Cooper S Blade and the side scuttles. The
graphic pattern on the 18-inch light-alloy wheels in the Final Edition
Spoke 2-tone design is also finished in a tinted clear lacquer
reminiscent of copper, giving the hue an elegant shimmering depth.
In the lower area of the side doors, MINI-typical narrow lines
accentuate the elongated body of the iconic shooting-brake concept.
They are also found on the passenger side of the hood and on the right
side of the split doors.
Here, the shimmering "Final Edition" lettering
elegantly indicates the special edition, as does the "1 of
1969" badge on the side of the C-pillar. The Union Jack
taillights refer to the British origins of the MINI Clubman.
Exclusive equipment details in the interior.
The interior of the MINI Clubman Final Edition emphasizes the
exclusive aura of the limited special edition with numerous equipment
details. For example, the door sill trims with the edition-specific
"Final Edition" lettering, which is also found on the lower
spoke of the comfortable sports leather steering wheel in Nappa,
already create a special ambience in the edition model. The
comfortable MINI Yours leather sports seats with adjustable thigh
support and sewn-in edition badge are finished in Dark Maroon. They
are stylishly set off by an anthracite-coloured Piquet fabric insert
and blue contrasting stitching.
In the cockpit, the first thing that catches the eye from the
central instrument panel is the dark dashboard trim, which is framed
by harmonizing trim strips in the matte shimmering Sage Green Dark
colour and the edition-specific Shimmer Copper colour. On the
passenger side, a "1 of 1969" badge on the trim also reminds
the interior of the exclusivity of the MINI Clubman Final Edition. A
badge in the same design is also found on the floor mats, and graphic
lettering also characterizes the key cap of the MINI Clubman Final Edition.
The standard Connected Media equipment includes an 8.8-inch
touch display in the central instrument, Remote Services and
smartphone integration for using Apple CarPlay and other apps via the
vehicle's own control system. The latest generation of the MINI
control system optimizes the options for fast and intuitive control of
vehicle functions, audio program, communication, navigation, and apps.
