Elie Saab's MINI Cooper S Vehicle Auctioned at the amfAR Gala in Salzburg
The MINI Cooper S, a symbol of collaboration between automotive engineering and haute couture, is set to make waves at an upcoming auction. This one-of-a-kind vehicle, a result of the partnership between BMW Austria and luxury fashion house Elie Saab, continues the theme of timeless craftsmanship and design excellence.
The interior of the MINI Cooper S boasts a luxurious makeover. Seats and panels are trimmed in brown leather, quilted with the Elie Saab monogram, adding a touch of elegance. The car's interior also incorporates Elie Saab's signature fragrance, Golden, developed in collaboration with Culti Milano, creating a sensory experience for its future owner.
The exterior of the unique MINI Cooper S features a cascading metallic gradient from liquid copper to soft bronze and nude tones, giving it a distinctive look. The exterior also includes 18-inch slide-spoke wheels, finished in satin and branded with the Elie Saab logo.
Under the hood, the MINI Cooper S retains BMW's B48 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, delivering 204 horsepower to the front wheels. This ensures that the car's performance matches its stylish appearance.
The MINI by Elie Saab is expected to be among the event's most anticipated auction items. Proceeds from the auction, scheduled for August 24, will support the American Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR) in its fight against HIV/AIDS.
Alexander Bamberger, CEO of BMW Austria, stated that design and craftsmanship in the car serve a greater purpose than aesthetics, as they channel attention and funding toward amfAR's global research efforts.
The Salzburg gala marks amfAR's Austrian debut, bringing together figures from fashion, entertainment, and philanthropy. The gala serves as a fundraising event for amfAR's fight against HIV/AIDS, making this MINI Cooper S more than just a unique car—it's a symbol of hope and support.
The scent, an interplay of bitter orange and cedarwood, comes infused in a leather cushion positioned beside the steering wheel, adding another layer of luxury to this bespoke MINI Cooper S. This car is not just a testament to the fusion of automotive engineering and high fashion, but also a powerful statement of support for a meaningful cause.
