MINI showcases JCW with special livery at motor show

It's not exactly the livery of the MINI John Cooper Works which the Bulldog Racing team took to the Nurburgring, but it comes close enough.

Resting amongst the cars on display at the MINI stand at this 2026 iteration of the Singapore Motor Show was one special MINI John Cooper Works. Sporting a special livery, this car is said to be the product of the combination of the high-performance of MINI John Cooper Works with the passion and craftsmanship of apparel firm Deus Ex Machina.

The special livery pays homage to the motor sport heritage both past and present of the MINI brand

The special car was thus showcased decked out in an exclusively designed livery that includes a white band across its bonnet, a bold white and black polka dot pattern, and adorned with the 'Deus Ex Machina' text in place of the Bulldog Racing team's logo - all available for all visitors at the show to see and touch.

But that was not all that was available to those at the show. New MINI owners at the event were stood to win a host of sure-win prizes including exclusive MINI x DEUS merchandise not available in Singapore, a customised tote bag and private access to the level two lounge bar.

Visitors to the show were offered a host of MINI merchandise at attractive discounts

Visitors to the show were also invited to participate in a Full Throttle Challenge. Inspired by the power boost feature in Go-Kart mode in any MINI model, the challenge saw participants pressing a single button on a display as fast as they can to dial as high a number as possible on a speedometer. Players who successfully complete the challenge will walk away with a car decal and possibly an exclusive MINI sticker.

And to complement the special livery MINI on display, the stand also played host to the current MINI lineup including the MINI John Cooper Works, all-electric MINI Cooper, all-electric MINI Aceman, all-electric MINI Countryman and its combustion-powered variant.

MINI Singapore states that the special livery is but a glimpse into what the two brands MINI x DEUS are building toward. Looks like we'll just have to stay tuned for more in the near future.
