BMW-owned British automotive brand MINI on Tuesday launched the MINI Shadow Edition in India at ₹49 lakh (ex-showroom). The model is a limited edition – only 24 units will be sold – and will be manufactured locally, at BMW's factory in Chennai.

“The MINI Shadow Edition is an edgier and elusive version of the iconic MINI. Inspired by the alluring play of light and shadow of urban nightlife, the MINI is perfect for the unconventional, who like to stand out from the crowd and make a bold statement,” a BMW press release quoted Vikram Pawah, the German auto giant's Group President in India, as saying.
