      Mini e lo stilista Paul Smith hanno collaborato per una nuova edizione speciale.

      Presenta accenti verdi, strisce sul tetto e cerchi in lega neri da 18 pollici.

      L'abitacolo aggiunge sedili sportivi blu, soglie delle porte e rifiniture della plancia lavorate a maglia.

      I costruttori nazionali hanno dominato il Japan Mobility Show, ma Mini ha sfruttato l'evento per svelare la nuova Cooper Paul Smith Edition. Segue precedenti collaborazioni e sarà offerta in tre diversi stili di carrozzeria.

      All'esterno, sono disponibili due colori di vernice esclusivi noti come Statement Grey e Inspired White. Il primo si ispira a una tonalità offerta sulla Mini Austin Seven del 1959, mentre il secondo è un "omaggio contemporaneo" al vecchio Beige.

      I clienti possono anche optare per il tradizionale Midnight Black Metallic, se non si sentono molto avventurosi.

      Altro: Mini Strip di Paul Smith è un concept essenziale che si prende cura dell'ambiente

      Il colore gioca un ruolo importante in questa edizione speciale, che presenta accenti Nottingham Green sugli specchietti, sulla cornice della calandra e sulle ruote. Può inoltre essere scelto come opzione per un tetto a contrasto.

      Altrove, c'è una Signature Stripe sul tetto delle varianti a 3 e 5 porte. Gli acquirenti troveranno anche la firma di Paul Smith sul retro, oltre a cerchi in alluminio da 18 pollici con finitura nera. A questi si aggiungono speciali loghi Mini in Black Blue, progettati per completare il design del modello colorato.

      I guidatori noteranno gli aggiornamenti interni prima ancora di salire a bordo, poiché verranno accolti da luci d'acqua che proiettano "Ciao" sul terreno. Sono accompagnate da speciali placchette sottoporta con la scritta "Ogni giorno è un nuovo inizio."

      Una volta all'interno, troverete sedili sportivi Nightshade Blue che combinano ecopelle Vescin con una sezione superiore in tessuto bicolore. L'abitacolo presenta anche una lavorazione speciale a maglia sulla plancia e sui pannelli porta, oltre a una Signature Stripe sul volante.

      Completano i dettagli distintivi le targhette Paul Smith e un coniglio stilizzato sui tappetini.

      Mini non ha indicato dettagli sul lancio o sul prezzo, ma sembra che l'edizione speciale sarà offerta a livello globale. Inoltre sembra disponibile con tutte le motorizzazioni elettriche e a combustione interna (ICE), ad eccezione delle versioni JCW.

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.
