MINI QED: The Electrifying 640Hp MINI Cooper

Posted by odot on Monday, August 20, 2007 / Labels: , , , / Comments: (0)

Remember PML Flightlink’s electric powered MINI dubbed QED that we showed you last summer? Paul Clifton - Transport Correspondent for the BBC, visited PML Flightlink to carry out some interviews and film the MINI QED Development. In a nutshell, the MINI QED uses four electric motors in its wheels each producing 160 Hp and 750 Nm of torque –total 640 Hp and… 3,000 Nm of torque. PML has equipped the MINI QED with a 21 kWh lithium-polymer battery pack while there’s also a 250cc two-cylinder, four-stroke petrol engine to generate extra electricity when needed. According to PML, the prototype can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.5 sec and reach a top speed of 240 km/h (150mph) while boasting a whopping 1,500 km or 930 miles autonomy.

We’ll be blunt and tell you that we didn’t find a lot of official information around the pictured Airborne MINI Cooper S (first generation) but we really dug its design when we saw it on “Germancarscene” and so we decided to share. However, we did discover that Airborne had presented a prototype based on the MINI Cabrio at the 2006 SEMA show which was fitted with a wide-bodykit and a tuned engine producing around 300Hp (see video after the jump). Just for the record, the official site says that the Airborne MINI was developed by designer Joe Iacono of Iacono Design, along with Hot Rod builder Rick Leos of Autocraft. -Continued: Click “Read More…” below
