Mini «Aaltonen»

A new version of the Cooper S is being prepared by Mini, which will constitute tribute to 74 years Finnish driver Rauno Aaltonen, where the 1967 won the Monte Carlo race!

The model will be based on the well-known Cooper S, but here we have a more than "special" version, since this will be a tribute to the Finnish Rauno Aaltonen, and will bear his insignia. Aaltonen was an important member of the "Flying Finns" category, and became famous in his decade 1970 (more specifically between 1973-1987), while he was one of the drivers who introduced the technique of braking with the left foot!
The car will be painted in Chili Red, while there will of course be all the necessary insignia that will testify to the issue. Like the white racing stripes on the bodywork, the also white rims 17 inches, and the Special Edition badges on both sides of the body (in flash). Inside there will also be subtle touches such as Aaltonen's signature on the steering wheel and dashboard, while the first one will be two-color.

It is still unknown in which markets it will appear, but it is worth noting that anyone who acquires this collector's edition, he will also be able to spend a whole day at Rauno Aaltonen's driving school!
