MINI goes electric... BMW 1 series next?

VFX · 10-20-2008, 05:32 PM

MINI will show a 201 bhp electric model next at the LA Auto Show next month.

With a range of 150 miles per 2.5 hr charge I can see it being a hit so long as price isn't too high & reliability isn't compromised.

I'd love to see that motor in a 1 series if they can make a RWD or AWD version. :smile:

i'd love to see a hybrid - take the 128i's 230 hp and add this 200hp electric motor.

I'd rather just see them bring the 123d over -- no new design needed!
