Racing Mimi is what its creators call this special, one-of-a-kind electric Mini hillclimb car. Created in 2020 in Romania under BMW’s tutelage, this special project car has been incrementally improved over the years, but now they plan to turn it into Racing Mimi Evo through a series of key upgrades and improvements that will, of course, allow it to be even quicker around a twisty mountain road.
The initial list of modifications made to the vehicle through 2020 included stripping out most of the interior, fitting it with a racing-homologated roll cage, as well as Sparco racing seats with six-point harnesses, as well as a mandatory FIA-approved automatic fire suppression system inside. They also changed the standard suspension for a KW V3 kit, the standard wheels were ditched in favor of a lightweight set borrowed from the Mini Challenge car and the tires are racing slicks.
