Mini is a British brand of small cars, which is now owned by BMW. Vehicles are very popular.

The Suez crisis, which began in 1956, had a negative impact on the UK: the sales of gasoline were reduced. In this regard, the head of British Motor Corporation set the task to develop a compact economy car to a team of engineers led by designer Alec Issigonis. Being small in size, the car had to accommodate three adult passengers, a driver and luggage.

2.5 years of development led to the emergence of the Mini brand. Sales of the car, the launch of which was expected in the whole world, began in 1959. The cars were presented simultaneously in the markets of almost 100 countries. In 1961, thanks to John Cooper - the "Formula 1" team designer - the Mini model got a powerful powertrain, disc brakes and a proprietary two-tone coloring. The modification was named Mini Cooper. The Mini Cooper S model, equipped with an engine of greater power, has become a legend of motor sport.

After the Mini brand was bought by the BMW company, the German developers updated the model. A new car has become more powerful and more comfortable, while maintaining easily recognizable Mini design. Combining those qualities, a new car managed to win the affection of the world in a short time.

Some people believe that for a few decades the Mini model was produced only in a three-door hatchback body. However, the Mini lineup is also represented by estate cars, pickup trucks, vans and beach cars.
