The iconic Mini is marking its 50th birthday this year and to mark the occasion the kingdom welcomed the new Mini Cabrio at the Bahrain International Motor Show.

The small car with substance in abundance offers all the flair and refreshment of driving in the open air and the new edition oozes the very best in performance, looks and versatility.

Superior features in terms of design, quality, handling, performance, safety, efficiency and functionality ensure that the second edition of the Mini Cabrio consistently raises the bar. The new addition to the Mini family builds cleverly upon its forerunner and boasts some of the leading technology features in its class.

The most advanced and sophisticated suspension technology, tougher bodyworks, an invisible rollover bar behind the rear seats, activated in the event of a possible rollover, and strengthened A-pillars make for the best protection possible in the unlikely event of a collision.

Even while driving at a speed of up to 30 km/h, the soft top folds back fully automatically in just 15 seconds, giving the new Mini Cabrio its true purpose and quality. This is a car simply begging for driving in the open air for any weather condition, even challenging the driver to use the unique Always-Open timer. A unique feature typical of Mini Cabrio, the Openometer records the time spent by the owner driving with the top down.
