Prodrive Countryman?

Makes sense to me since they are running the MINI WRC program. They also made a number of Imprezza specials when they ran Subaru's WRC program years ago.

Quote:

This heavily modified all-wheel-drive Countryman Cooper S features a muscular body kit that includes a large fixed carbonfibre wing, along with custom unbranded alloy wheels.
Performance upgrades include a Prodrive-branded Milltek exhaust and a Superchips-tuned version of the Cooper S’s turbocharged 1.6-litre petrol engine. Sources have indicated that the car had run 230bhp on the dyno, but Superchips is still hoping for even more power and a larger turbo was under consideration.

Would love the extra power. Not too keen on that rear wing or maybe the photos doesn't do it justice.

I think the photos don't do it justice, it looks pretty much like the WRC wing, which I think looks pretty good. What thy should also add are the bonnet louvers from the WRC car.
