- Mini and Austrian design house Vagabund created a pair of custom Countrymans.
- These cars pay homage to the festival lifestyle and feature externally mounted speakers.
- Mini raised the ride height and installed custom wheel covers to complete the look.
Mini loves to see its vehicles customized. And Mini owners have created all sorts of great-looking Coopers and Countrymen over the years. The latest custom creation from Mini and Austrian design firm Vagabund, who have created a pair of unique Countryman concepts.
Each vehicle features its own monochrome livery accented by unique badging and prominent Vagabund lettering. Mini then raised the ride height, put 20-inch wheels on the car, and installed some pretty sharp 3D-printed aero covers. The aesthetic is meant to pay homage to the festival lifestyle, which helps explain the speaker.

Every Mini receives a tweeter and midrange speakers mounted in the bodywork. Open the back door, and now you’ll add a thud from the subwoofer. Each vehicle is intended to serve as a unique sound stage. But you can arrange them to work together to provide an immersive audio experience.
If someone had made this in the 90s, they would have destroyed the car audio contest scene.
As someone who appreciates a good audio system, I’d love to see how Mini can turn it into an option for customers. Of course this will be difficult to do, because you will most likely find people on the bus listening to their cellphone speakers rather than using headphones.
Regardless, as a one-time (or two-time, for that matter) habit, the visual appeal rings as clear as I assume the audio does.
