Accessorized MINI Countryman boasts serious off-road chops

For ten years, the MINI Countryman has been serving as the support car of the X-Raid team, quintuple winner of the Dakar Rally. No wonder the team decided to launch a range of rally-themed accessories for the model.

The Countryman gets a suspension lift kit and new high-profile tires, thus gaining 10 cm (4 inch) of extra ground clearance. Two LED floodlights and an aluminum rack get added to the roof, and the body gets MINI Piano Black treatment with sparse orange accents.

There will be options to buy all the components in a single package or go for individual parts, but pricing and availability dates remain unannounced so far.
