Red Bull MINI Convertible

Posted by murmini Thu, 15 Nov 2007 16:44:11 GMT

I don't think that I have ever seen a Red Bull MINI Convertible before. This one was spotted by my son in Kensington, London. Traditionally, they have used a truncated MINI Cooper coupe with the can angled up from the rear and a place for coolers carrying the drink.

In addition to sports sponsorships, Red Bull has developed the Mobile Energy Team program consisting mostly of college students, who drive specially designed Red Bull "Racers".

The racers are detailed with the Red Bull logo, and most carry an oversized can of Red Bull on their chassis. The vehicles chosen to-date have been Suzuki Vitaras, SportTracs and of course, Mini Coopers.

Well, just when you thought the topic was dead, someone comes up with a petition. I received an email from Mike Shafer this morning telling me how he is heading up a petition to have the MINI Diesel made available to the US market and tells me they already have 600 signatures. If you would like to sign the petition, it is available here.
