Mini's Latest Paul Smith Edition Exudes Subtle Chic | Carscoops

      The new special edition boasts a vibrant exterior along with a distinctive interior.

      Mini has collaborated with designer Paul Smith for this latest special edition, which showcases green accents, roof stripes, and sleek black 18-inch alloy wheels.

      Inside, blue sport seats, door sills, and knitted trim on the dashboard enhance the unique cabin experience.

      While domestic automakers dominated the Japan Mobility Show, Mini took the opportunity to introduce the new Cooper Paul Smith Edition. This model continues a series of collaborations and will be available in three different body styles.

      Starting with the exterior, there are two exclusive colors: Statement Grey and Inspired White. The former is inspired by a shade from the 1959 Mini Austin Seven, while the latter pays a contemporary tribute to the classic Beige.

      For those seeking a more traditional look, Midnight Black Metallic is also an option.

      This special edition emphasizes color, featuring Nottingham Green accents on the mirrors, grille, and wheels, with the option for a contrasting roof.

      The 3- and 5-door variants also include a Signature Stripe on the roof. Buyers will find Paul Smith’s signature on the rear, along with black-finished 18-inch aluminum wheels. Special Mini logos in Black Blue are included to match the colorful design.

      Before entering, drivers will notice the interior enhancements, such as puddle lamps that project “Hello” onto the ground, paired with special door sill plates that read, “Every day is a new beginning.”

      Upon entering, you'll discover Nightshade Blue sports seats that blend Vescin pleather with a two-tone textile upper. The interior features unique knitting on the dashboard and door panels, along with a Signature Stripe on the steering wheel.

      Additional highlights include Paul Smith branding and a stylized rabbit on the floor mats.

      Mini has not provided details regarding the launch or pricing, but it appears that the special edition will be available worldwide and offered with both electric and ICE powertrains, excluding JCW models.

Approximately 3,300 blue-collar workers will lose their jobs, though some of these layoffs may be temporary. General Motors is implementing significant job cuts across Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee, with Factory Zero facing the largest impact as around 1,200 positions are eliminated. Additionally, battery production is being temporarily halted at two Ultium Cells facilities. After making a considerable investment in electric vehicles, GM’s workforce is now feeling the effects. Recently in Canada, over a thousand workers were let go due to the discontinuation of BrightDrop vans. In the U.S., about 1,750 employees will be laid off, with Factory Zero in Michigan experiencing the most substantial losses of around 1,200 jobs. Another 550 layoffs will occur at the Ultium Cells plant in Ohio. Furthermore, there will be roughly 1,550 temporary layoffs, primarily at the Ultium Cells facilities in Ohio and Tennessee, impacting 700 workers in Tennessee. In statements, GM indicated that these changes were made “in response to slower near-term EV adoption and an evolving regulatory environment,” which likely refers to the removal of the clean vehicle tax credit and the easing of regulations during the Trump administration. Factory Zero manufactures the Chevrolet Silverado EV, GMC Sierra EV, GMC Hummer EV, and Cadillac Escalade IQ. Sales of these models were not particularly strong even when a $7,500 federal incentive was available. Despite these layoffs, GM maintains its commitment to U.S. manufacturing and believes that investments and flexible operations will enhance its resilience and adaptability during times of change. While it remains uncertain what exactly this entails, the company has stated that “affected employees may be eligible to continue receiving a significant portion of their regular wages or salary, along with benefits.” The announcement follows closely on the heels of CEO Mary Barra telling investors that the company had “delivered another very good quarter of earnings and free cash flow.” She noted that GM achieved its highest market share in the third quarter since 2017 and was raising its annual guidance. Despite the positive outlook, Barra signaled potential reductions, stating, “it is now clear that near-term EV adoption will be lower than planned. That is why we are reassessing our EV capacity and manufacturing footprint.” Nevertheless, she emphasized that “electric vehicles remain our North Star,” despite new investments in internal combustion engine vehicles.
