The New MINI Clubman unveiled on Carnaby Street at the GQ Style Night Out 2015

Unveiled in a UK premiere as part of the GQ Style Night out, the new MINI Clubman was officially launched last night (Thursday 17th September), by Matthew Zorpas, ‘The Gentleman Blogger’, as it dazzled in the spotlight on Carnaby Street.

The British car brand and London’s most celebrated neigbourhood have a long and stylish history together, dating back to the hedonistic swinging sixties. However, today the partnership is a very different picture, with the sleek and powerful new MINI Clubman demonstrating how much MINI has grown up.

To mark The MINI Clubman’s new look, MINI is working with The Gentleman Blogger, Matthew Zorpas, to explore what makes a ‘Modern Gentleman’ today. Matthew is pictured wearing items from the Pitti Umo collection, created exclusively for MINI and inspired by the car.

The epitome of style, design and sophistication, the new MINI Clubman is the ultimate accessory for the modern gentleman’s armoury and boasts a 0-62 time of 7.2 seconds on the Cooper S, with range pricing starting from £19,995.

On sale nationwide from 31st October 2015, the MINI Clubman was unveiled as part of the GQ Style Night Out to kick start London Fashion week. The evening saw hundreds of stylish guests in attendance where they had the opportunity to see, experience and get photographed with the new MINI Clubman.
