U.K.: Mini Cooper and One Get Graphite Special Edition
Published May 7, 2009
All editions of the Graphite will feature Dark Silver metallic paint, which has previously only been used on the Cooper S and John Cooper Works Minis.
Priced at $19,650, the Mini One Graphite features black stripes, white indicators, a piano black interior and 15-inch alloys. The Cooper version and Cooper D run for $21,935 and $23,543 respectively, and include everything found on the One Graphite plus bigger 16-inch alloys and the choice of black or white stripes.
Mini says it can outfit any Mini with the Graphite package for about $421 over the standard price. Orders are currently being taken for the special edition by all U.K. dealers.
Inside Line says: Although it doesn't include a power upgrade, the Graphite package does enhance the sportiness of both the exterior and interior of the Mini. — Mike Lysaght, Correspondent
