Electric MINI spotted in Munich, expected at 2008 LA Auto Show

Check it, Cooper fans — that electric MINI we’ve been sporadically hearing about is for real, and we’ve seen the spy shots that prove it. Car has hosted up a slew of non-blurry (gasp!) snaps of the eco-friendly whip cruising around Munich, and just in case the complete absence of an exhaust pipe wasn’t evidence enough, maybe the “Hybrid Test Vehicle” decals will make you a believer. Also of note, we’re now hearing that the car is on track for a 2008 Los Angeles motor show appearance, which jibes quite well with the purported summer 2009 US launch.

Cooper’s gilded Amber F1 PMP is too flashy for its own good

May 5th, 2008 by

Filed under: ,

We’ll spare you our feelings on just how cheesy this thing looks, as we’re fairly certain you can judge that for yourself. Those with no shame and an unrequited love for all things gold, however, may actually find this one quite appealing. Cooper’s Amber F1 purportedly features a 2.8-inch widescreen LCD, support for RMVB, AVI and FLV formats, a built-in equalizer, SRS WOW technology, a bundled case and an obligatory set of gilded earbuds to ensure public humiliation. A price or release date wasn’t immediately apparent, but please don’t say you’re willing to dig around to find out. Please?
