The X-Raid Mini (X-Raid are the company that build them for BMW/Mini) is really the previous X-Raid BMW X3 re-bodied to look like a Mini Countryman.
Mods are:
- space-frame racing chassis (about 1.5 times as big as a Countryman);
- mostly detachable body panels;
- BMW 3 liter twin-turbo diesel race engine;
- different transmission (Sadev) and differentials (X-Trac);
- different suspension, wheels and tyres.
As well as the badges and lamps mentioned above, I've seen conflicting reports about whether the windshield is the same as the Countryman, though if so I bet it's a thinner racing version.
Same axe, but with a different head and a different handle, eh?
In addition to that video, there's some excellent pictures here:

Duct tape stocked in the interior brace.

I presume the editor didn't chose the other photograph - a roll of baling wire that is probably zip-tied into a roll cage lightening hole on the other side of the car.
What can't be fixed with either duct tape or baling wire is what is called 'terminal'......

Well, 'mods' isn't really it.
