With short wheelbases and relatively low curb weights, MINIs are ideal candidates for electric powertrains. MINI recently proved that theory by stuffing a backwards\u00a0BMW i3<\/a>\u00a0powertrain into a Cooper 2-Door hatchback. The little Cooper SE is a surprising fun little car to drive, even if it isn\u2019t particularly fast. However, what if you took that same Cooper SE and fed it a steady diet of JCW GP-branded protein shakes? Apparently, that\u2019s what the Brits are working on, as a MINI Electric GP is currently in the works.<\/p>\n

At the moment, MINI is currently working on creating the aforementioned combination of the\u00a0MINI Cooper SE<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0JCW GP<\/a>, two cars that on their own have immense potential but fall a bit short of greatness. Coming together, however, might just create the best FrankenMINI we never thought of.<\/p>\n
