MINI has provided an off-road design packaged MINI Countryman for the X-Raid team to use as service vehicles during The Dakar Rally to support the X-Raid Team's efforts. Quoting MINI,
worldcarfans.com writes, in part:
Set to cover over 8,000 km (4,971 miles) during the competition, the service vehicles will be equipped with an off-road design package that includes "silver-colored add-on parts for the front and rear apron and side skirts." The crossovers will also have an increased ride height, off-road tires and special badging.
MINI says the off-road design package is a retrofit option, so it won't void the crossover's original warranty. They also say the model can be equipped with auxiliary headlights, mud flaps, all-weather floor mats and 18-inch alloy wheels with run-flat tires.
The Dakar Rally starts on January 5th and the X-raid Team is looking to defend last year's victory.
