As the X-raid Team prepares for the defence of its Dakar Rally crown, it has revealed the MINI Countryman service vehicles that will be supporting the MINI ALL4 Racing cars.

Apart from the necessary tools, each Countryman is equipped with the off-road design package from the Original MINI Accessories range, which can be retrofitted to any road car. This particular MINI wears a radiator grille with auxiliary headlights and silver-coloured sections on the front and rear aprons and side skirts, while other available components include 18-inch alloy wheels, front and rear mud flaps, all-weather floor mats and a hard-wearing PVC load compartment cover.

The X-raid Team will be on the Dakar Rally start line on 5 January 2013, ready to cover the gruelling 8,000 kilometres beginning in Peru and ending in Chile after crossing the Andes into Argentina.
