MotoringFile.com has assembled what is certainly one of the best resources available anywhere for learning about details of the new R60 MINI Countryman crossover vehicle that will be arriving on the U.S. side of “the pond” next year. The buzz being generated by the introduction of this radical new four-door AWD model has been considerable, exceeding that of the sporty R59 MINI Coupe and R58 MINI Roadster concepts that have a slightly longer time horizon for their introduction into worldwide production.
The following link will take you to the site’s dedicated R60 section with links to hundreds of photos, reviews, information on the really exciting news about the joint MINI-Prodrive commitment to the World Rally Championship (WRC) series using the R60 platform as a basis, early design drawings, access to the European online configurator (so you can practice “building” your very own Countryman), and much more. Enjoy!
That WRC concept is one mean looking machine! If you’re not familiar with WRC, try doing a YouTube search for some clips of racing highlights. It is one exhilarating form of racing, for certain!
