Woodcliff Lake, NJ: MINI USA announces the MINI Red Line Edition for Model Year 2026. This next special edition model will be available exclusively on the MINI Cooper S 4-Door and is the latest entry in the brand’s ongoing series of limited-run special edition variants.
The Red Line Edition pairs Legend Grey Metallic exterior paint with Chili Red accents, creating a high-contrast appearance influenced by MINI’s motorsport heritage. The color combination is complemented by JCW-inspired exterior elements and aerodynamic detailing.
Legend Grey Metallic, a finish typically reserved for John Cooper Works models in the U.S., is a distinguishing design element of this special edition. The model also includes an accent stripe, 17-inch John Cooper Works Sprint Spoke Black wheels with all-season tires, and JCW Sport Brakes.
The vehicle comes standard with the JCW Style Package, which includes a JCW Aero Body Kit, JCW Steering Wheel with shift paddles, and a JCW Sport Transmission. A black panoramic roof provides visual contrast to the exterior finish.
Inside, the Red Line Edition features JCW Sport Seats upholstered in leather-free Vescin. The interior is finished in an anthracite color scheme with red accents, while the integrated headrests include subtle patterning and a signature red stripe.
“This edition captures the essence of MINI’s design and performance DNA in a way that feels both modern and distinctly expressive,” said Vikash Joshi, Product Manager, MINI USA. “By combining exclusive materials, bold color contrasts, and JCW-inspired elements, the Red Line Edition offers customers a unique interpretation of the MINI driving experience.”
Pre-ordering for the MINI Red Line Edition Cooper S 4-Door is now live, with vehicles expected to arrive at U.S. dealers starting in May.
