Looks very similar. The DS3 looks much faster, by the way.

One thing I noticed on the video(and on other test videos of the Mini), is that it seems like the mini has shorter suspension travel compared to the DS3 and the Fiesta. Or at least less negative travel. If thats true, it does'nt bode well for the mini, I think.

Can someone remind me what and "SP car" is, and what their technical specs are...

are they much different to S2000???

will mini go ahead with making a 2wd edition of the countryman wrc?

SP means S2000 1.6T car. It's same with WRC except few features like smaller restrictor (30 mm compared to 33 mm), small wing, different front bumper and less powerful front asphalt brakes (no water cooling).

Looks like the suspension has less travel than the two others.
