Mini unveiled two one-off Countryman show cars developed with Austrian design studio Vagabund that replace the rear-most side windows with external speakers designed for outdoor sound projection.
The pair are styled as opposites — one in silver, white and beige and the other in monochrome black — and feature raised ride height, 20-inch wheels, widened stance and 3D-printed monoblock-style, speaker-inspired wheel covers. Speaker housings are cast polymer granite with body-integrated tweeters, mid-range speakers and rear subwoofers, and each car also incorporates a 3D-printed Walkman housing opposite the external speakers.
Mini said in a press release that the show cars will debut at Auto China 2026 in Beijing and be displayed live across multiple platforms. Vagabund, which specializes in custom cars and motorcycles and has reworked models including Porsche 944 and 924 Safaris, a Lada Niva, a 911 SC and a BMW 850i, designed both Countryman concepts.
