Mini Countryman by X-Raid Gives You The Dakar Look
Mini Countryman by X-Raid Gives You The Dakar Look-February 2024
2023-12-14 EST 02:30:33

X-raid is the German motorsport team who regularly takes Mini products to the Dakar. Now there's a kit to make your Countryman look like the offroad-racing legend.

X-raid has considerable experience preparing the Mini Countryman vehicles for the insanity that is the Dakar race. With 5 wins under its belt as well as building the support and logistics vehicles, it's easy to see why they've garnered quite a reputation. Now, X-raid is offering some of its expertise and products for customer Mini Countryman units.

The offroad package is an increase of the ground clearance by 4cm and the addition of special offroad wheels and tyres. These wheels are tougher and offer a higher sidewall to cope with offroad driving. There's extra front LED lighting to illuminate the darkest of roads, while the aluminium roof rack bolsters the carrying capacity. Rounding off the package are some great-looking design elements consisting of Piano Black and Orange X-raid accents.

Pricing for the X-raid goodies was not mentioned, so you'd have to get in touch with the motorsport outfit if you want to give your Countryman a makeover.
