Mini Cooper Teams Up With Rolls-Royce
by Cristina Alvarez


The Mini just got a whole lot more luxurious. Rolls Royce and Mini Cooper, both owned by BMW, have teamed up to create a special edition vehicle— The Mini inspired by Goodwood. The new edition will be available in March 2012.

On the exterior the Mini will look similar to previous models. So where exactly does the extravagance of the Rolls-Royce come into play? Well, just take a peek inside. The same luxurious elements used in the exclusive car, cashmere roof lining, “cornsilk” interior colors and walnut door handles, will give the new Mini the same fine feel.

The “Mini inspired by Goodwood” made its debut in April at the 2011 Shanghai Auto Show. Production of the unique vehicle will be limited to 1,000 units worldwide and will start at €45,425, about four times the price of the original Mini.
