The MINI Cooper SE electric car was forced to redesign the wheels. The British company took such a step in connection with the association with a dangerous infection.
Remake rims urgently were forced car marketers. The reason for this was the frequent jokes of users who compared the wheels of the new MINI Cooper with the COVID-19 virus,
reports Popular Mechanics.
The first production electric Cooper SE was presented in the summer of 2019, but it only reached the showrooms in the spring of 2020. It was during that period when the whole world was swept by the pandemic of the coronvirus.
A distinctive feature of the new car is asymmetric wheels, which are based on the wheels of the MINI Electric Concept concept car: black-silver wheels with three spokes and bright yellow accents. In the official catalog, they received the name Corona Spoke, which was the occasion for jokes.
Recently, the Swiss company Micro-Mobility presented its
new development. This is an electric car Microlino 2.0., made in the style of BMW Isetta.
