David Brown
Automotive has released a pair of teaser images showing a new, high-performance
version of the Mini Remastered that was created to celebrate the model’s 60th
anniversary. DBA will limit the run of the new Mini Remastered variant to 60
units, one for each year passed since the original Mini was revealed in 1959.
Technical details
of the faster Mini Remastered remain under wraps; we do know however that David
Brown Automotive created the new model in partnership with classic car
specialist Oselli, which developed the A-Series engine. The new limited edition
Mini Remastered will be offered in a number of one-off color combinations,
which DBA will also offer a number of matching race suits and helmets as optional
extras.
The DBA Mini
Remastered is considered one of the finest examples of the classic Mini, with
each car requiring 1,400 hours to complete. “Regular” Mini Remastered models
share just the engine and transmission with the donor vehicle, with the engine
being completely rebuilt to produce 94 hp.
It’s safe to expect
that this new high-performance version will offer more ponies and come with an
even crazier price tag than the already absurd £ 75,000 (US$ 92,000) base price of the previous models. DBA will reveal the new
limited-edition Mini Remastered at the Goodwood Revival on September 13, along
with all the juicy specs.
