PHOTO SPECIAL: MINI Inspired by Goodwood hits Dubai

The most exclusive MINI ever built - the MINI Inspired by Goodwood – has pulled into AGMC’s showroom in Dubai.

The special edition, three-door MINI was developed in close collaboration with the Rolls-Royce Motor Cars design team at the historic Goodwood site in the UK.

The MINI Inspired by Goodwood features an exclusive Rolls-Royce leather Cornsilk interior, including the centre console, carpet surfaces, lounge leather seats, roof lining and the door, side and body pillar cladding. The dashboard and door handles are also finished in walnut burr.

In addition, the car boasts cashmere roof linings, sun visors and rear storage tray as well as foot mats made of a deep-pile lambswool also featured in current Rolls-Royce models.

On the outside, the body is finished in Rolls-Royce Diamond Black metallic paint and has unique 17ins light-alloy wheels sporting a multi-spoke design. There is also a badge featuring the legend “One of 1000”, which can be found on the centre console in front of the gearshift lever.

The MINI Inspired by Goodwood is available as MINI Cooper S variant only and is powered by a l.6l engine, producing 184bhp.

Kevin Hughes, General Manager of AGMC, said: “The MINI Inspired by Goodwood is a perfect example of this and will allow us to bring MINI’s unique personality to a new audience, as it opens up a whole new segment of customers who appreciate MINI but require a high end product.”
