      Mini y el diseñador Paul Smith se han unido para crear una nueva edición especial.

      Cuenta con acentos en verde, franjas en el techo y llantas de aleación negras de 18 pulgadas.

      El habitáculo añade asientos deportivos azules, umbrales de las puertas y un adorno de tejido en el salpicadero.

      Los fabricantes nacionales dominaron el Japan Mobility Show, pero Mini aprovechó el evento para presentar el nuevo Cooper Paul Smith Edition. Sigue colaboraciones anteriores y se ofrecerá en tres estilos de carrocería diferentes.

      Empezando por el exterior, hay dos colores de pintura exclusivos conocidos como Statement Grey e Inspired White. El primero se inspira en un tono ofrecido en el Mini Austin Seven de 1959, mientras que el segundo es un “homenaje contemporáneo” al antiguo Beige.

      Los clientes también pueden optar por el tradicional Midnight Black Metallic, si no se sienten muy aventureros.

      El color juega un papel importante en esta edición especial, que presenta acentos Nottingham Green en los retrovisores, el marco de la parrilla y las ruedas. También puede seleccionarse como opción para un techo en contraste.

      En otros detalles, hay una Signature Stripe en el techo de las variantes de 3 y 5 puertas. Los compradores también encontrarán la firma de Paul Smith en la parte trasera, así como llantas de aluminio de 18 pulgadas con acabado negro. Se acompañan de logotipos especiales de Mini en Black Blue, diseñados para complementar el diseño del modelo colorido.

      Los conductores notarán las actualizaciones del interior antes de entrar, ya que serán recibidos por luces en el suelo que proyectan “Hello” sobre el pavimento. Se acompañan de placas especiales en los umbrales de las puertas que dicen “Every day is a new beginning.”

      Una vez dentro, encontrarás asientos deportivos Nightshade Blue que combinan piel sintética Vescin con una sección superior textil bicolor. El habitáculo también cuenta con un tejido especial en el salpicadero y los paneles de las puertas, así como una Signature Stripe en el volante.

      Completan los puntos destacados las insignias de Paul Smith y un conejo estilizado en las alfombrillas.

      Mini no mencionó detalles de lanzamiento ni precios, pero parece que la edición especial se ofrecerá a nivel mundial. También parece estar disponible con todas las motorizaciones eléctricas y de combustión interna, aparte de las versiones JCW.

GM's Major EV Investment Fails as Thousands Are Quickly Laid Off | Carscoops GM's Major EV Investment Fails as Thousands Are Quickly Laid Off | Carscoops Approximately 3,300 blue-collar workers will lose their jobs, although some of the layoffs will be temporary. 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.

One of the approximately 40 remaining EV1s recently fetched an impressive $104,000 at sale.
