A report in the British magazine Autocar notes that Mini is already close to giving the go ahead to a John Cooper Works version of the Cooper Countryman revealed yesterday.
When asked whether such a vehicle was in the works, Mini's general manager in the U.K., Jochen Goller, responded, ""It's definitely under consideration," he said. "JCW has been a big success and we'll look at doing it again here."
Mini official announcement of the Countryman already noted that various JCW parts would be offered as stand alone options.

Anyone heard anything regarding MINI's return to WRC? This is supposedly the vehicle that they will be entering. The race version is supposed to be built by Prodrive.
