# Compact Luxury Cars The MINI Inspired by Goodwood Was Made in Collaboration With Rolls-Royce By Michael Hines | Published 2011-04-16 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-inpsired-by-goodwood References: [highsnobiety](http://www.highsnobiety.com/news/2011/04/14/mini-inspired-by-goodwood-designed-by-rolls-royce/) & [mini.my](http://www.mini.my/) MINI has gotten together with the luxury-car gods over at Rolls-Royce to create the MINI Inspired by Goodwood. This [limited-edition MINI Cooper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-and-deus-ex-machin) was designed by the boys and girls over at the [Rolls-Royce headquarters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rollsroyce-black-badge-spectre) in Goodwin, England. The MINI Inspired by Goodwood has the body of a MINI but the soul of a Rolls with its [elegant interior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bentley-mulliner-inspired-by-china). The interior is a mix of wood and black leather complemented by a thick brown carpet. While the car's appearance may be different, its performance is still the same; this MINI has the same four-cylinder 181 horsepower engine as the MINI S. Only 1,000 of these MINIs will be made, and the car will make its official debut at the 2011 Auto Shanghai show. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Luxury-mini-crossover:** The collaboration between MINI and Rolls-Royce to create elegant interiors offers opportunities to disrupt the luxury mini-crossover market. - **Limited-edition-collectibles:** The release of only 1,000 units of the MINI Inspired by Goodwood offers the opportunity to disrupt the limited edition collectibles market. - **Premium-small-car:** The MINI Inspired by Goodwood collaboration offers opportunities to disrupt the premium small car segment with its unique features. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive-manufacturing:** The collaboration between MINI and Rolls-Royce to create a new luxurious version of a smaller car offers opportunities to disrupt the automotive manufacturing industry. - **Luxury-car-brands:** The creation of the MINI Inspired by Goodwood as a luxury and unique car offers opportunities to disrupt the luxury car brands industry. - **Collectibles-market:** The release of only 1,000 units of the MINI Inspired by Goodwood offers opportunities to disrupt the collectibles market, particularly for limited-edition cars. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Designer Edition Hatchbacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-paul-smith-edition.md) - [Special Edition Small Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/untold-edition.md) - [Special Edition Seaside Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-convertible-seaside-edition.md) - [Exclusive Gold-Accented Minis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-remastered.md) - [Celebratory Miniature Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-20-years-edition.md) - [Auto-Inspired Decor Items](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cameo-1.md) - [Automotive Brand Decor Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rollsroyce-cameo.md) - [Spaceship-Like Mini Sedans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-concept-aceman.md) - [Dynamic Electric Car Updates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-countryman.md)
