For this year’s Life Ball, the annual event that raises funds for projects helping to combat HIV/AIDS, Roberto Cavalli created a one-off version of the new Mini Paceman. The Roberto Cavalli designed Paceman featured gold elements inside and out, iridescent paintwork that shimmers from black to brown depending on the angle of light and the use of his hallmark animal prints. A few hours before its premiere, the one-of-a-kind MINI was auctioned for a record 150,000 euros during the AIDS Solidarity gala.
Since the beginning of the partnership in 2001, 13 unique Mini models have been created, with auction proceeds of more than half a million Euros flowing into projects dedicated to the battle against AIDS.
“We are very pleased that the one-off MINI has sold for a record price and can thus make a special contribution to projects dedicated to fighting HIV/AIDS. The charity principle is an important part of the MINI brand, which enjoys a unique platform through this partnership with the Life Ball.”
