Just after MINI unveiled the new Cooper at the Los Angeles Auto Show, last year, the US branch launched a challenge for the most dedicated fans out there, offering them the chance to win a shot at what they called “Final Test Test Drives”.
In order to win, you had to submit photos and videos explaining what feature of the new model is most interesting to you and win the judges over. Today, MINI announced the 10 winners including a fan favorite picked by the MINI Community that will get to live out a special test drive experience and design a brand new “MINI Originals” package that will go on sale in select dealerships.
The winners are:
