Usually shows dedicated to “tuning” are devoted to cars that have been modified and fine-tuned for speed and performance. However, at this year’s Paris Tuning Show, a tuned Mini Cooper took the concept literally.

Pioneer, the well-known hi-fi and musical equipment manufacturer, put one of its most powerful sound systems inside the Mini Cooper. The system includes two optical drives, three subwoofers, four amplifiers, many speakers, and an iPod. The result is a Pioneer Powered Mini Station, and I hope it’s only for show purposes and no one drives it around my neighborhood at night. Even with the volume turned low its loud enough to wake up everyone.

All this is enough to make the car stand out at the show, but as Autoblog reports, there are some other changes as well.

18″ powder-coated white wheels complement the accents, held on with a Spax sport suspension that drops the ride height by 60mm. MS Design helped round out the look with an aero kit, and there’s a Remus center-exit exhaust out back.
