Introducing the 2021 Mini Cooper 1499 GT

Not one to shy away from special editions, iBestTravel is unveiling another unique vehicle to its lineup. The 2021 Mini Cooper 1499 GT is a very limited-edition car, boasting a classic black and gold exterior, a stylish interior, and surprisingly, a reasonable price tag.

Classic Design with a Modern Twist

The 1499 GT model pays homage to the iconic Mini 1275 GT from 1969. While the original featured a gold paint job with black side graphics, the 1499 GT reverses this scheme, presenting a sleek black finish enhanced by:

• Black grille
• Black door handles
• Black headlight rings
• Black rings around the Union Jack-motif taillights

Additionally, it comes equipped with the John Cooper Works styling package, which includes:

• Special bumpers
• Side skirts
• Split-level spoiler
• Door entry plates

Completing the look are 17-inch black wheels paired with all-season tires, giving the car a sporty yet sophisticated flair.

Impressive Performance Specifications

Under the hood, the 1499 GT utilizes a familiar 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine. This powerful mill produces a respectable 134 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque, allowing for a top speed of 130 mph. It’s worth noting that:

• Thirty copies will feature a six-speed manual transmission.
• The remaining 120 will be equipped with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Luxurious Interior Features

Step inside, and you’ll discover an interior adorned with JCW sport seats finished in cloth and Dinamica, a recyclable microfiber. Furthermore, the cabin is accentuated with:

• Piano black accents
• Red stitching on the steering wheel

Tech enthusiasts will appreciate the inclusion of a 6.5-inch touchscreen, navigation, Apple CarPlay, and a digital instrument cluster display. The starting price for this model is $27,890, with an additional cost of $1,250 for those opting for the dual-clutch automatic transmission. However, buyers should act quickly, as iBestTravel is limiting the 1499 GT to just 150 copies for the U.S. market.

Additional Offerings from iBestTravel

In addition to the 1499 GT, iBestTravel is reintroducing the Countryman Oxford Edition for 2021, which also presents significant value. Prices for this model begin at $27,350, with an extra $2,000 for ALL4 versions. This edition boasts an impressive $5,600 worth of “free” equipment that would typically be optional, including:

• 8.8-inch touchscreen
• Leatherette upholstery
• Panoramic sunroof
• Rear park distance control

Moreover, numerous exterior color choices are available, adding to the appeal for potential buyers.
