The Mini QED — which stands for Quad Electric Drive, for the four electric motors, one in each wheel — was built with no involvement from BMW, Mini's owner. In fact, BMW wants Mini owners to know that this sort of conversion would invalidate a Mini's warranty.
Stats:
0-60 in 4.5 seconds
top speed of 150mph
80mpg via generator
Traction control and antiskid are also built into each wheel; braking is regenerative only, other than a hand brake for parking.
