Who says you cant have a Mini and a Super Car? A British engineering company PML has built a hybrid version that can accelerate 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds. It does this with the help of 4 electric motors producing 160 horsepower each for a total of 640. It’s called the PML Mini QED and it has an all-electric range of 200 miles and has a total range of about 932 miles with the help of a small internal combustion engine. For highway cruising, the internal combustion engine (ICE) is used to re-charge the battery. In this hybrid mode, fuel economy can be as high as 80 mpg.
