    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 mph max, 4-wheel drive, 650 bhp peak electric, 4 hours EV mode, 1,000 km total range, 65-80 mpg when on gasoline.

    Kewl,

    It would be nice to know what the battery capacity is and how much space they take up. (whole backseat?) Specs are impressive. Wonder what it cost to develop.
