640 hp Mini... WTF!

Its an old article, but its a hybrid BMW Mini, with 4 electric 120kw engines on each wheel. That means a 480kw 4 wheel drive Mini. How freakin awesome would that thing be to belt around the track!

Just imagine ramming in some QED motors in the stock Super S rims... *drool*

Anyway, this is kinda old news, but its exciting to see new technology in older cars. For instance, you dont have to get a new Honda Robotech car with GPRS + Automatic coffee machine built in that costs $1.2 million. Maybe when im older I'll whack some QED engines in an old Mini just for a larf.
