Press Release

February 18 2026

The Classic Mini has been reimagined many times over the years, but Everrati’s latest take might be the most heartfelt yet.

Revealed on Valentine’s Day, the new electric reinterpretation keeps everything people love about the original – its compact proportions, playful character and unmistakable charm – while quietly updating it for modern life.

Although visually the car remains unmistakably Mini, under the skin the petrol engine has been replaced with a smooth, responsive electric powertrain, bringing instant acceleration, near-silent running and everyday usability that suits today’s city driving.

Rather than offering a fixed specification, the Everrati Mini is commissioned to order, allowing owners to shape everything from materials and finishes to performance and comfort upgrades through their bespoke commissioning programme “Artisan by Everrati.” It’s an approach that treats electrification not as a compromise, but as an opportunity to enhance the Mini’s original appeal: making it cleaner, calmer and arguably more enjoyable than ever.

Justin Lunny, Everrati’s CEO, said:

“The Classic Mini is one of the most culturally significant cars ever created. It represents freedom, creativity and a distinctly British sense of fun. With this reinterpretation, our aim was not to change its character, but to elevate it. Electrification enhances the Mini’s natural agility and responsiveness, making it even more engaging to drive, while ensuring it remains relevant for generations to come.”

Two expressions of the Everrati Mini

To mark the Valentine’s Day reveal, Everrati is presenting the electric Classic Mini through two contrasting design expressions, each exploring a different side of the car’s personality and showing how the icon can feel at once familiar and contemporary.

Clubhouse

Clubhouse reflects the Mini’s confident, charismatic side. Inspired by private members’ clubs, British tailoring and evening city culture, the look pairs rich oxblood red with deep navy tones for a dramatic yet understated presence. Darker metallic finishes and layered interior materials give the car a tailored, grown-up feel that still suits the Mini’s compact form.

Serenity

Serenity takes a softer, more intimate approach. Drawing inspiration from calm living spaces, tactile textiles and contemporary luxury interiors, it uses a refined peach-led palette, lighter materials and delicate detailing to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

Engineering the world’s most celebrated classics

Everrati’s electrified Mini joins a portfolio of redefined automotive icons that has already resonated with clients around the world, with globally delivered commissions spanning everything from the Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz SL ‘Pagoda’, GT40, to the Land Rover Series ‘Classic,’ reflecting the company’s international reach and the increasing global appetite for sustainable luxury.

The addition of the iconic Mini brings a distinctive new energy to the range. Alongside the performance purity of the Porsche 911, the timeless elegance of the Mercedes-Benz SL ‘Pagoda’, the motorsport pedigree of the GT40 and the heritage-and-adventure spirit of the classic Land Rover, the Mini adds personality and cultural relevance.

Craftsmanship and design through Artisan by Everrati

Interiors are crafted using carefully sourced materials selected for their quality, durability and reduced environmental impact, including Bridge of Weir Leather, the world’s lowest carbon intensity automotive leather, with a footprint of approximately 1.1–1.4 kg CO₂e per hide, produced through a highly circular manufacturing process.

Everrati also works with a growing network of premium partners, including some of Savile Row’s most respected and emerging tailors. Inspiration is drawn from British tailoring traditions to create cabins of true distinction, where textiles, stitching, proportion and finish are considered with couture-level attention. It is this ultra-bespoke, atelier approach that sets Everrati apart.

Performance and comfort options

Available commissioning options may include:

  • Performance suspension and wheel upgrades
  • Modern climate comfort systems
  • Heated seating and enhanced interior comfort features
  • Integrated infotainment and connectivity
  • Bespoke interior detailing and personalised finishing touches
