British Mini

The Mini Cooper is the modern reinterpretation of the 1959 Mini, produced since 2001 by the BMW Group. Designed by Frank Stephenson, the new car blends the three archetypes of the human body: a solid masculine body, sensual feminine curves, and even some typically childlike rounded elements. After the launch of the new Mini, Stephenson commented, 'We wanted the first impression of the car to be: "It can only be a Mini."' Thanks to the intervention of engineer John Cooper, the engine enhancement allowed it to become a racing car.
