So I guess the big mystery will be in what lies under the hood. Everything else that can be seen in this picture is available as an aftersales add-on to the existing Countryman.

There is, of course, more speculation over at www.motoringfile.com

Talking The best part of this??

Potential for 220-230hp! Unlikely, IMHO, but would be pretty cool and the car's suspension could easily handle it.

I really like the lowered stance, I'd also like to find out how much the JCW alloys cost. I also believe there will be a JCW SD, so there is a chance this could be a diesel. It looks production ready too.

I hope the JCW also goes to a 2.0 engine with minimum 230hp, it can't really compete with the Golf and other hot hatches with a 1.6.

Just bought a Cosmic Blue CM-S with those exact 19" rims - they are $3,593! Admittedly alot, but the best looking ones, I think.

The car looks sharp especially with the silver roof. I was hoping for the JCW calipers but it looks like they just painted the calipers red.

Sweet!!!!!!

Liking the look of that

Also gives me hope for the JCW suspension which looks like it will drop the ride a fair bit which is what I am looking for

Anyone got any info on when the suspension kit and engine kit for that matter as due to make an appearance - I was to impatient to wait for an out the box JCW Coutnryman

It wouldn't take it since I had already loaded it under the thread "New to the Family" a few days ago. Here it is under a different file name. If it does work, check my thread form a couple of days ago (sorry).
