its stated above, same reason alot of the touring cars are 5 door.
ease of access is the major point, and the way in which you have more room to manipulate and mess about

Fair point, looking forward to seeing anything other than Ford's and Citroens in the WRC anyway lol
I get the whole point of function over form, but that's still vile as f**k.
Audi A3
looks pretty awesome i think!
Ultra Red Megane 175
How on earth can people dismiss Mini's chances just from looking at a picture? Ok, the car probably won't be on the pace of Ford & Citroen immediately, no manufacturer in the world would be; but the fact that Prodrive are developing the car means it won't be long before it's competitive IMHO.
The Cooper is too short for the minimum 3.9m WRC regs.
Here's a video of Markko Martin and Ott Tanak testing the car in Portugal:
Kris Meeke has been confirmed as one driver, with Marcus Gronholm also being mentioned. It's likely the car will debut on WRC Sardinia next year.

Ha! looks awful
Turbos.
Are you serious? They're launching an SUV style Mini, and you can't work out why they're using it as a rally car?
Out of choice they'd always use a 5 door shell as it's stiffer. As has been said, Prodrive reckoned it had perfect dimensions for a WRC car. I think it looks ridiculous, personally.
Evo 5 RS
wouldn't exactly say small lol
Do like that a lot though

Is that Michael Gambon on the far left?
FLOL, and Cesc Fabregas on the right...
read the thread and you'll know.
if you cant be bothered to research i cant be bothered to explain x
BMW M135i
I read that prodrive made a perfect wrc car and they looked for a manufactures body to dress it in, so to speak, and the mini clubman was the perfect size for the job!
looks like it took a tumble in halfords tbh, not a fan

the pic in the OP has too much happening, with the bonnet pins and vents and spot lights and decals etc... I'm not doubting it'll, or should be an absolute beast but for the time being, looks wise im not a fan.
I'll give it some time before i go saying its s**t blah blah, maybe itll grow on me..... I do kinda like the vents and wing
edit:
just read the thread so far and watched the vid... it sounds like an RC car on acid raping a hornets nest... sounds awesome!
