A British firm that develop in-wheel motors have decided to make a demonstration vehicle to show what their products can achieve.

They chose a Plug-in hybrid Mini to show that their system would fit in any car.

Results are: 0-60 4.5s, 150 miles per hour max, 4-wheel drive, 650 bhp peak electric, 4 hours EV mode, 1,000 km total range, 65-80 mpg when on gasoline.

Quote:

BMW (UK) Ltd has requested that we mention they have no involvement with this project and that such conversions invalidate warranty!

Indeed!
