The MINI E Race test car is powered by the same 204bhp electric motor as the standard MINI E, which gets its power from lithium-ion batteries. Among the modifications to the E Race include a new helical gearbox with a longer gear ratio as well as tuned engine management software.
Other changes include a "special lightweight body", a roll cage and performance brakes, suspension and tyres, while a carbon fibre rear wing and various diffusers help improve the aerodynamics of the car. "The aim of this unique undertaking was to provide an impressive showcase of the great potential of the MINI E and its environment-friendly drive concept," said BMW Group's Peter Krams, who led the project.
