The upcoming Mini crossover is rumored to be the latest entry into WRC, according to a report from Autocar:
 :
The crossover, which is rumoured to be called the Countryman and due to go on sale next year, would be turned into a WRC contender for the 2011 season to coincide with the launch of a JCW model, according to British newspaper Motorsport News.
The Mini Countryman JCW will be powered by a turbocharged 1.6-litre engine, which will fall in line with proposed powerplants for future WRC cars.
With BMW's factory F1 program gone, maybe they can put a decent amount of money behind this venture.
