MINI XXL

MINI is taking the craze for personalisation to extreme lengths with the
launch of a six metre long MINI Cooper S limo called the MINI XXL which
will make its world premiere in Athens this week. The six wheel, four
door, six seater stretch MINI Cooper S features the John Cooper Works
Tuning Kit and was built by a specialist coach builder in Los Angeles.
Fully loaded with all of the toys you would expect to find in a
limousine, the MINI XXL comes equipped with a retractable flat screen
TV, a DVD player, CD and radio, air conditioning, sunroof, full black
leather and a telephone in the rear so that passengers can communicate
with the driver. However, the highlight of the MINI XXL is the
whirlpool integrated into the rear section of the car. The whirlpool
seats two people and is easy to operate. Its detachable roof means that
it can be covered when not in use and emptying it is a simple matter of
pulling the plug to release the water. To accommodate the extra body
length of the MINI XXL, the car is supported by a third rear axle that
has two additional wheels. Following its stay in Athens the MINI XXL
will commence a tour around Europe and parts of Asia where it is set to
be the star attraction at various events. More pictures of the MINI XXL
