Mini One Frozen brass edition launched in Singapore, 3-door hatch to start at $151,888

The Mini One Frozen Brass Edition has been unveiled. It celebrates the use of Brass as a status of symbol at the beginning of the Art Deco movement.

It also draws upon the unique brass work found in various forms of art. This special edition, exclusively available in the 3-door and 5-door hatch body styles, has been created for those who have an 'especial appreciation of sleek stylised forms'.

The car's headlight and taillight surrounds, which are typically chrome or gloss black in the standard vehicle, are now finished in frozen brass accents. Its grille, emblems and door handles have also been finished in a fetching shade of brass.

A unique side wrap, inspired by a close-up of the Union Jack completes the profile of the car. Other external details that sets this apart from your run-of-the-mill Mini One is its Jet Black exhaust finisher, optioned as such to contrast with the brass accents, and to also match with the 17" Pedal Spoke Black wheels with runflat tyres.

Mechanically and electronically, the car sports all of the same gubbins you'd find in the standard car, including the five-inch digital instrument cluster and the 8.8-inch colour touchscreen display of the central infotainment system. Under the bonnet, you'd also find the same 1.5 litre turbocharged engine with 101bhp.

The Mini One Frozen Brass Edition cars go for $151,888 and $154,888 for the 3-Door and 5-Door Hatch variants respectively. They are now available for viewing at the Eurokars Habitat showroom.
