Limited edition MINI Cooper S DeLux to be showcased at the New York Motorshow

MINI has announced that it will unveil a limited-edition version of the Cooper Hardtop called DeLux at next week's New York Motor Show. Designed by Virginia Commonwealth University sophomore Alex Coyle, the DeLux is the winner of the Final Test Test Drive contest that kicked off online a few weeks ago.

The contest asked current MINI owners to design a bespoke appearance package for the recently-unveiled third-gen Cooper. To the all-black MINI, Coyle added black light-inspired graphics on virtually every body panel in order to make the car stand out at night.

Driving lights mounted in front of the radiator grille and 18-inch alloy wheels add a sporty touch to the overall look.

Optional equipment includes the Cold Weather Package, the Premium Package, the Sport Package and the Comfort Access Package. The DeLux uses the 189bhp churning engine from the Cooper S model and the price will be put up closer to the sale.
