MINI has whipped a fair-trade Peruvian cotton sheet off its
latest model this morning in Hoxton, London. Featuring Instagram
filtered windows, Twin-deck cassette player and a fixed-gear
drivetrain, the new MINI Hipster Hatch launches today.
Avant-garde and upcycled, the MINI Hipster Hatch is effortlessly
stylish and the perfect companion for a spot of vintage clothes
shopping, or indeed the odd trip to the market for artisan kale.
Motorists no longer have to settle for the natural
colour of their surroundings (#nofilter), thanks to the exclusive
and fully adjustable Instagram filter on all exterior window glass.
Live life in LO-FI. Or Clarendon. Or Crema. In fact, occupants can
choose from 12 pre-loaded Instagram window filters and turn any
journey into a nostalgic memory at the touch of a button.
The new MINI Hipster Hatch has just one forward gear with a
maximum speed of 25 mph. Taking inspiration from the ‘Fixie’ pedal
bike, four of the forward gears have been removed to give the driver
a greater feeling of control when popping out for a superfood
smoothie.
The stonewash denim upholstery means the four seater MINI
Hipster Hatch is a match for even the tightest pair of jeans,
allowing the driver and passengers to coordinate their outfits
accordingly.
Inside, a twin-deck cassette player harks back to when it was
all about the music, allowing occupants to sidestep the mainstream
with their own mixtapes. On the outside, MINI Hipster Hatch boasts
alloy wheels carefully upcycled by hand from previous alloy wheels.
“The MINI Hipster Hatch is like no other we’ve built before”
said Ivana Newcarr, senior external product launch experience
curator at MINI UK. “Inspired by the kind of innovative thinking
only found when you ignore the script and ask what those who refuse
to be categorised want from a car – features like fixed gear drive,
twin-deck cassette player, upcycled details and Instagram filtered
windows to name but a few.”
A limited number of MINI Hipster Hatch will be available, so if
you’ve got FOMO*, head to
www.mini.co.uk/hipsterhatch
today to find out more.
Ends
* FOMO. Fear of missing out. We had to Google it too.
