X-raid vehicles, such as the MINI JCW Rally Plus, the MINI JCW Buggy or the X-raid 1000R Turbo SxS, are among the most successful cars for cross-country rallies. They are the product of thousands of test kilometres and over 20 years of continuous development work. In addition to assembling and selling racing cars, X-Raid also offers them for rent at cross-country events worldwide. In addition to our fleet of racing cars, we also rent and sell service trucks and special trailers.
