MINI Driver Nani Roma Takes 2nd Place at 2019 Dakar Rally

MINI driver Nani Roma placed at an impressive 2nd in the 2019 Dakar Rally, and a total of 5 MINI vehicles placed within the top 10 which is not a bad feat for a line of vehicles not typically associated with rally races. In case you're wondering, Toyota driver Nasser Al-Attiyah took the honors of 1st place. 


Roma was quick to thank the entire squad of drivers, engineers, mechanics and all of the other team members who worked diligently to support all of the MINI teams. Its safe to assume we will see MINI at the 2020 Dakar Rally, and with a bit of luck, and a continuation of the skill we've seen thus far, Roma could potentially earn a 1st place victory. 


We would like to congratulate Nani Roma and the entire team of MINI specialists which were involved in the 2019 Dakar Rally, and although the celebration is fresh in our minds, we wish them much success at next year's event.

MINI Cooper Electric SE Sneak Preview

During the 2019 New York City Formula E race, MINI offered a first hand look at their new Cooper SE Electric model.
