The Mini Inspired by Goodwood Concept is characterised
by top-grade materials, the highest level of workmanship and style. Its exclusive 'character' is the
result of an exceptional collaboration. The special edition of the three-door Mini was built under
the guidance of the Rolls-Royce Motor Cars design team and transfers the unmistakable style of the
British luxury car manufacturer to the equally unique Mini. The exterior and interior design
features, which were conceived at the Rolls-Royce Design division in the southern English town of
Goodwood, provide the model from the Mini Yours range with a fascinating charisma and a high-quality
ambience.
Inside the Mini Inspired by Goodwood, a harmonious colour concept, selected materials and a
production quality characterised by precise craftsmanship guarantee the highest degree of well-being
and comfort. The dashboard, including the surrounds of the central instrument and the air vents, the
centre console, carpet surfaces, the Lounge leather seats, the roof lining as well as the door, side
and body pillar cladding boast the exclusive Rolls-Royce colour Cornsilk. The dashboard and door
handle surfaces, which are manufactured in Goodwood and finished in Walnut Burr, a wood quality also
exclusive to Rolls-Royce, the black nappa leather dashboard top, Tipped Leather Cornsilk door
linings as well as Piano Black surface finishes for the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel
and the controls below the central instrument all provide additional quality-enhancing accents. In
addition, the car boasts Cashmere roof linings, sun visors and rear storage tray as well as foot mats
boasting a deep-pile lambswool quality also featured in current Rolls-Royce models. The most striking
features of the exterior design are the body finish in the formally exclusive Rolls-Royce colour
Diamond Black metallic and 17-inch light alloy wheels sporting a multi-spoke design.
The Mini Inspired by Goodwood is powered by a l.6-litre 135 kW/184 bhp four-cylinder engine with
Twin Scroll turbocharger, direct petrol injection and variable valve control. The power unit, which
is featured for the first time in the new MINI Cooper S, impresses with spontaneous power delivery.
At the same time it is also the most efficient engine in its displacement class. Moreover, the Mini
Inspired by Goodwood’s range of high-quality equipment offered as standard also includes Xenon
Adaptive Headlights, Park Distance Control, automatic air conditioning, an onboard computer and the
audio system Radio MINI Visual Boost, which includes the Harman Kardon hi-fi speaker system.
