Rough & Tough MINI DSQUARED� Glides Down the Catwalk

The BMW Group�s Mini division continues to support the Life Ball gala, Europe�s largest annual charity event in the fight against HIV and AIDS, by commissioning designers to fashion up its cars and then offer them up for auction. For this year�s event in Vienna, Austria, brothers Dean and Dan Caten, who are better known as the Canadian designer duo DSQUARED�, crafted the Red Mudder based on the three-door Mini Cooper S.

The Red Mudder is a more adventurous and tougher looking Mini that rides on a raised chassis and deep-tread all-terrain tires. The car is also fitted with a front guard, rally headlamps, tinted side windows with grilles and a spare tire on the tailgate
The twin brothers also put their stamp on the interior, which features a compass, special floormats made of structured aluminium sheeting, and the duo�s trademark DSQUARED� maple leaf logo on the leather head restraints and the door panels.
"Our MINI 'Red Mudder' is 100 per cent DSQUARED�," the two brothers said in a statement.
The DSQUARED� will be auctioned off with all proceeds raised to go the charity. According to Mini, since 2011, more than half a million euros has been generated by these specially styled Life Ball MINI models on behalf of Aids Life.
