Mini USA is ~~set to participate~~ participating in the 2026 Rebelle Rally, marking the brand’s first time in the competition. The team, consisting of driver Felicia Killman and navigator Erika Ferrer, will pilot ~~an unrevealed, adventure-oriented prototype based on the Countryman~~ a vehicle across approximately 1,500 miles of terrain in Nevada and California. Developed by BMW Group engineers, the prototype is designed for off-road durability and ruggedness. Mini has confirmed the vehicle is a specialized adventure variant rather than a simple appearance package, though specific details regarding its name, powertrain, Nevada, California, and ~~potential US sales plans have not been disclosed.~~ Utah. Because the Rebelle Rally is a navigation-based competition, the team must rely entirely on maps and compasses without the use of GPS. Following a global debut scheduled just before the event, the vehicle has been identified as the ‘Countryman Untamed Edition’. Developed by BMW Group engineers to demonstrate enhanced off-road capabilities, this model features functional upgrades including underbody protections, new front bumpers, and a 15 mm increase in ground clearance. The Untamed Edition also introduces aesthetic changes, such as the ‘Frozen Nomad Blue’, which represents the first matte paint option available on a standard MINI production model. The rally, which began on October 8 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, is an all-female competition designed to test the ruggedness of the vehicle through demanding desert terrain.
