The Mini Cooper you in the picture above is more a work of art than a car. The Mini Cooper S by designer Marco Mehn turns heads with its space-frame style, along with up to 20 hand-applied paints, three finishes and 40,000 Swarovski crystals. The gleaming Mini is an amazing combination of art and automotive enthusiasm. The car is a part of the Heim + Handwerk fair in Munich, where sparkling runabouts will be shown to the public. The Mini can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in approximately 7.1 s and reaches a top speed of 225 km/h. Marco Mehn, on his artistic creation, said…

The purpose of my art is always, emotions and arousing the viewer to touch. The Mini gives me the opportunity to create a work that people not only with the eyes can perceive, driving for many people is emotion and pure luxury, which they feel with all your senses.
