Mini gets a stretch

12 August 2004: A 'stretch limo' Mini, the XXL, is a non-athletic attraction in Athens this week as the BMW-owned brand capitalises on the global interest in the Greek capital.

The six wheel, four door, six seater stretch MINI Cooper S features the John Cooper Works Tuning Kit and was built by a specialist coach builder in Los Angeles.

A highlight of the MINI XXL is the whirlpool integrated into the rear section of the car.

To accommodate the extra body length, the car is supported by a third rear axle that has two additional wheels.
