In news that should surprise precisely nobody, the electric Mini shares a hell of a lot with the old 94aH BMW i3. So you get the same 33kW battery pack (29kW of which are actually usable), and the same motor and transmission for broadly similar performance figures. Apparently. Mini"s engineers can"t tell us - German law means they"re not allowed, at least while the car"s still officially a prototype - but we"re led to believe you"re looking at the same 181bhp output as the i3S.
