The Mini John Cooper Works Rally is an off-road competition car built for rally raid events. It is based on the Mini Countryman and was built and run by the German racing team X-Raid, led by team manager Sven Quandt, as the successor to the team earlier Mini All4 Racing. The car was first used in the 2017 Dakar Rally, where three crews started in red, green and silver cars: Mikko Hirvonen with Michel Perin, Yazeed Al-Rajhi with Timo Gottschalk, and Orlando Terranova with Andreas Schulz. In 2018 Al-Rajhi and Gottschalk won the Silk Way Rally in the passenger car class with a John Cooper Works Rally, and the same pair also won the Rally Kazakhstan that year. The car belongs to the Mini competition lineage that also includes the Mini John Cooper Works WRC, and it shows how a production body shape is carried over to a purpose-built desert racer.
