The edition reinterprets the heritage of the Mini Cooper that competed in the Monte Carlo Rally, applying exterior cues that evoke the winning car.
A prominent “52” graphic on the side references the 1965 rally car’s entry number. The 18-inch JCW Lap Spoke two-tone alloy wheels feature edition-only wheel caps in red and white, along with valve caps numbered “52.” The interior also uses a sporty look and color scheme unique to the edition.
The MINI 1965 Victory Edition will be sold in two versions: a battery-electric model and an internal-combustion model. The electric version uses a motor rated at 258 horsepower and 35.7 kg·m of maximum torque. It accelerates from 0 to 100 kph in 5.9 seconds and has a single-charge range of 291 km under the Environment Ministry standard.
The gasoline version pairs a MINI TwinPower Turbo inline four-cylinder engine producing 231 horsepower and 38.8 kg·m of maximum torque with a seven-speed Steptronic Sport dual-clutch automatic transmission. It goes from 0 to 100 kph in 6.1 seconds.
Both versions include safety and convenience features such as Active Cruise Control with stop-and-go, Driving Assistant Plus with lane-keeping assist, Parking Assistant Plus with Surround View, Remote 3D View and a drive recorder, and a Korea-specific MINI navigation system based on T map.
MINI Korea said sales will be limited to 25 units of the all-electric MINI JCW Victory Edition and 50 units of the MINI JCW Victory Edition, offered through the MINI Shop Online. Prices in South Korea are 61.5 million won and 56.1 million won, respectively.
