“The reveal film, shot in the style of a movie trailer, previews three new MINI commercials set to air from September on. César Charlone, the Oscar-nominated cameraman behind “City of God”, gave the Rio spot a unique feel and highlighted the brand-typical premium characteristics of the MINI Coupé in a particularly striking manner.”

Mini has worked with fashion designers Dsquared2 on a special edition Mini Cooper S for the Life Ball 2011 event, Europe’s biggest AIDS charity event, being held in Vienna. Even though we might not enjoy the brand as much as we used to a couple of years ago, we do like what they did with the car.

“Among its striking features are the front guard, rally headlamps, tinted side windows with grilles and the spare tyre on the tailgate. But that’s not all: the vehicle’s raised chassis and deep-tread all-terrain tyres instantly evoke a sense of adventure. When it came to the interior, our two designers similarly scrutinised every detail. If road signs are unclear, there’s a compass to help you head in the right direction, while floormats made of structured aluminium sheeting protect the inside from dirt. The trademark DSQUARED2 maple leaf on the leather head restraints and the side doors rounds off the cabin of this robust MINI with a stylish flour.”

The proceeds of the one off Mini will contribute to the fight against AIDS/HIV. Previous Life Ball Mini’s had been designed by Agent Provocateur, Donatella Versace, Diesel, Missoni and Gianfranco Ferré.

Mini has teamed up with Calvin Klein, Diane von Furstenberg and Kenneth Cole on special one-off designers of the iconic car. The cars will be auctioned off on July 17th, with the proceeds going to the Life Ball in support of the fight against HIV/AIDS.

“Over the past 10 years of supporting the Life Ball, Mini has teamed up with a variety of fashion designers to create unique one-offs to support the largest annual HIV/AIDS fundraiser event. Past collaborations have included the likes of Diesel, Versace and Agent Provocateur, to name just a few. To date the special Minis have raised half a million Euros for the cause. But for the tenth rendition, the Anglo-German automaker has brought in no fewer than three big-name designers to create a trio of specials.

Calvin Klein creative director Francisco Costa has taken on the new Countryman in stealthy black-on-black; Diane von Furstenberg, a red Mini hatchback with a lip motif; and Kenneth Cole a Mini convertible with industrial-style studs. Each will be auctioned off at the event in Vienna on July 17 to kick off the 18th International AIDS Conference.”

As little as we like Mini’s second model that came out, the stretched Clubman, this new concept of the iconic little car, the Beachcomber is looking much more promising. The Beachcomber is basically Mini’s take on the SUV. It looks to be well designed, multifunctional and fun. Unfortunately it is only a concept for now, but there is for sure hope!

More images of the Mini Beachcomber Concept follow after the jump.
