Mini Unveiled a Pikachu-Themed Aceman Car at Gamescom 2022

— August 24, 2022 — Autos
Mini unveiled a special edition 'Pikachu Aceman' car at Gamescom 2022. The Aceman is a futuristic compact electric vehicle from Mini, and the Pikachu edition is a special modified version that celebrates the Pokemon franchise. This vehicle features electric lights around its grille and frame that resemble the powers of Pikachu, an electric mouse-like creature from Pokemon. The lights create thunderbolt-like patterns with vibrant yellow colors.

The interior of the Pikachu Aceman features a Pikachu-inspired dashboard with the character itself sitting in the background of the dashboard. Additionally, the text, colors, and design of the interior are yellow and white as an homage to Pikachu. It is important to note that the Pikachu Aceman is also a concept vehicle, meaning it will not be making a public debut any time soon.
