I’ve always loved Mini Coopers. For a small car they have a lot of attitude and just look like they would be fun to drive. Now there’s a company that makes custom wraps for your Mini to make it even cooler.

Mini Motoring Graphics, which is a partnership between MINI and Colorado-based Original Wraps, creates durable vinyl wraps for all models of Mini Cooper. They have badges, side panel wraps, roof graphics, and stripes. In fact, Mini Motoring Graphics has so many options they claim there are 5 million possible combinations of art.

You can even create your own one-of-a-kind wrap to promote a brand or just for your own self-expression. The possibilities are endless. The wraps are removable, photo-quality, and protect the vehicle from nicks and scratches.

Best of all, most of the wraps are actually affordable, ranging in price from $9.99 to $349, although a custom design will set you back more. You can check out the full line of wraps at Mini Motoring Graphics.

If you’ve been wondering when BMW will come out with a hybrid, the new BMW Vision Efficient Dynamics Concept car might give you a clue as to where the carmaker is headed. One look at this thing and you know you’re dealing with one badass hybrid. Toyota Prius this ain’t.

This full hybrid is powered by a three-cylinder turbodiesel that is connected to twin electric motors. This robot-looking car churns out 265 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of toque (I have no idea what 590 lb-ft of torque feels like, but I’m guessing it’s a lot).

Acceleration from a standstill to 100 km/h (about 62 mph) is 4.8 seconds with a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). This is one hybrid that drives as good as it looks. No word yet on whether this will be available on the market.
