Mini Cooper Gaming Chair Built From Parts of A Car, Variety of Appliances

I’m torn between wishing these would go into wide release and wondering why they even exist, but one thing is plain as day: the Mini Cooper Gaming Chair is downright impressive.

Sure, any time you make a chair out of the front end of a car you’re going to get a few wolf whistles in its general direction, but this sucker’s packing a whole slew of gadgets to make your gaming experience as complete as is humanly possible.

Created by a fellow named David Gawthorpe, the Mini Cooper Gaming Chair is indeed actually built from the front end of a Mini Cooper. It’s also packing an Xbox (I’m guessing that’s actually a 360), a 500 watt amplifier, a variety of both strobe and laser lights, stereo speakers built in, a smoke machine controlled by remote, and not at all surprisingly at this point, a fridge located in the rear. There’s no word on if that steering wheel works with the games, but I can’t imagine it not.

It’s even got one of those “Butt Kicker” vibration pads built into the seat, and for when you’re going multiplayer, the alloy wheels swing up and become vastly inferior stools just so you can let everyone know just whose house they are gaming in, and just whose Fritos and Mountain Dew they are enjoying.

Just hook the whole thing to a television and you are off to the races in the front end of a Mini Cooper.

The prototype has already been sold, to a London businessman who plans to offer it for sale in his shop out in Pimlico–and you’re going to want to be sitting down for the price tag–for about 8000 pounds, or roughly, $12967 US. Yes, you’re going to be paying the equivalent of some new cars’ prices to get this sublimely tricked out half of a used car, but one thing’s for sure–you go gaming in this thing, you’re going to be gaming in a whole new class.
