That's actually more a listening environment than a driving machine which I believe is the whole point. That said, its one ugly looking Mini!

Uugghh!! I had to run to the bathroom and call Earl! That is disgusting, but then those audio inspired abominations are usually pretty scary looking. The thing that surprises me, not that i care, is that it's not totally surrounded by those poor, exploited, barely clothed hootchies!

Looks like it belongs in the movie Men in Black 3

Simple is better.
Alpine is nuts.
I guess people that see it in person do not forget
It's all show.

apparently nothing is sacred anymore

If there was any more fiberglass in there, it would collapse under its own gravitational field! For all the Audio Engineers out there: can you say "Surface reflection"?

I wonder what the before and after weight is!

What's most outrageous is the page on their site that is titled "It came out better than expected."

It’s not the point of if I like it or not. It’s a show car for the Alpine folk. They were given a blank check and the freedom to do whatever. I doubt you can legally drive it. The point is they could have choose any car, but picked a MINI. Wither you like the way it looks or not, it not for driving it’s to show case their products.

I dont see anything wrong with it. Its a show car. The whole point is to make it stand out, and I think they did a damn good job of it.

I think that MINI is some awesome work. They probably had some of the most talented guys/girls working on that MINI. That is a piece of art.
