The BMW Group Indonesia is celebrating its 25th anniversary in Indonesia with the BMW Group Festival of Joy. This event showcases various BMW, MINI, and BMW Motorrad lines. One of the stars of the show is the Mini 1965 Victory Edition, making its Indonesian debut.

The MINI Head of Asia, Daren Ching, said this limited-edition Mini commemorates MINI's first victory in the Monte Carlo rally in 1965. Only 16 units of this car will be sold in Indonesia due to its exclusivity.

"The launch of this car celebrates the 'Go-Kart Feeling' spirit and our history in motorsports. MINI 1965 Victory Edition perfectly combines our heritage and modern innovation," Ching said.

This special edition Mini features a visual design that echoes the memory of Timo Mäkinen and Paul Easter's victories decades ago, such as the Chili Red color paired with white accents that run from the engine to the back of the car.

An essential design feature is the "52" inscription on the side of the car, which represents the winner's number in 1965 and serves as a powerful emotional connection to MINI's history in racing.

The addition of sporty John Cooper Works-inspired wheels gives the car a unique yet sporty touch.

The interior design is quite similar to the current MINI 3 Doors model, but with a few special touches to make it stand out. The "Limited Edition" certificate and premium interior materials add to its exclusivity.

There's a choice between the conventional ICE engine and the electric full EV version. The ICE model comes with a 2.000cc Turbo engine producing 228 HP and 380 Nm of torque. The EV model is equipped with a 54.2 kWh battery that produces 258 HP and 350 Nm of torque.

The price of this special edition MINI 1965 Victory Edition is set at IDR 1.19 billion Off The Road. You can check it out at the BMW Group Festival of Joy at JIEXPO Kemayoran, Jakarta, from April 17 to 19.
