Have you seen a Red Bull Mini?

Gingertom · September 27th, 2009, 5:49 PM

Before you shout at me, yes I know they've been around for ages now and yes I know there are already pictures of them on the internet but this was the first time I've seen one in the flesh. I was walking through Southampton to go to uni and it was just there in the car park by Ikea.

I was wondering if anyone else around the world has had any sightings?
It would be interesting to see exactly where they've been.

They're all over Boston too, especially near the universities. The bigger challenge is finding a Red Bull Suzuki X-90.

Gingertom · September 27th, 2009, 5:58 PM

I was not aware such things even existed!

EDIT: Just googled it:

That's just plain odd.

They are running here too.. nice looking blonde driving it... Bit of unusual sight in Finland&Jyvaskyla

Spazatao · September 27th, 2009, 6:16 PM

I've seem them both in Rio and here in France. There was a New Beetle version too... But that Suzuki , odd!!!

I'm guessing the "unusual sight" refers to the "Red Bull car" bit, not "nice looking blonde" images/smilies/tongue.gif

. They have nice-looking blondes driving them here too, which I suspect is no accident.

I've seen a couple of RB Minis and I'm not certain if I've seen any other kind of RB car

GM_IV · September 27th, 2009, 6:34 PM

The Red Bull Minis are somewhat common, I saw a few at the BMW dealer I used to work at. One of them was totaled.

Evel · September 27th, 2009, 6:35 PM

I've seen a couple of Red Bull Minis, and I think I saw an X-90 as well.

syncview · September 27th, 2009, 7:31 PM

They are in Pakistan too. And continuing their tradition, only hot chicks are driving them around...

LeVeL · September 27th, 2009, 7:33 PM

I see it/them around campus all the time. Always driven by hawt chicks

matskulainen · September 27th, 2009, 7:40 PM

If you go to a certain crossroad in Turku any day at the right time in the afternoon, you'll see one. I think there are 2 of these here (in Turku) and I saw one for the first time a couple of years ago.

maxtortheone · September 27th, 2009, 7:48 PM

Does anybody have some production figures on this? I've read that the can is really a working fridge!

DanRoM · September 27th, 2009, 8:08 PM

I've seen them several times at the uni parking lot.

efoolution · September 27th, 2009, 8:21 PM

Yes. The guy/girl who drives one lives near my sisters house, so I see it quite often just standing on the street there, looking awful and rotting away ... images/smilies/smile.gif

I´ll drag my cam around when I visit her this week, maybe It´s there so I can provide you with pictures ...

darkshark0159 · September 27th, 2009, 8:23 PM

I love the Red Bull MINI! I've seen it twice by my school (Granby, CO, USA). images/smilies/smile.gif

It was a few years ago, and it was the older MINI.

Dsemaj · September 27th, 2009, 8:26 PM

They've got Red Bull VW New Beetles over here. The can fits surprisingly well into the ass of the car images/smilies/tongue.gif

-Cpt. J.- · September 27th, 2009, 8:29 PM

I see one every summer here in Oulu. I have allways wondered why RedBull does this.
Nice marketing have to say. Weird and unusual.

darkshark0159 · September 27th, 2009, 8:31 PM

^Well, it certainly makes me want a Red Bull, if only to reward the coolness. images/smilies/dunno.gif

Spectre · September 27th, 2009, 8:55 PM

They used to be all over the place in Dallas, though I've not seen them so regularly of late. I've seen both the Minis and at least one X-90. Haven't seen a Beetle version yet, though.

And yes, usually driven by hot young women.
