MINI Electric GP begins MINI’s future electric performance cars

Car enthusiasts have come to accept that fully electrified vehicles are not just ideas anymore. And the announcement of the MINI Electric GP begins the reality of MINI’s electric performance cars.

MINI has already proven that electrification and the brand itself goes perfectly well. It has always been about being fun and efficient for MINI. Though relatively expensive now, it will change as technology becomes cheaper in the future. Therefore, the MINI Electric GP does not only introduce new ideas; it also sets the future of MINI sports cars.

With the Cooper SE, MINI proved that electric powertrains and the MINI image perfectly fits together. Cooper SE drives so well that car enthusiasts labelled it one of the best MINIs in today’s market. In fact, it is the best non-JCW model from the famed British brand. Also, the MINI Cooper SE goes beyond fun and efficient; it also performs well in terms of range. So when the MINI Electric GP comes out, it will prove many things. Most importantly, it will show that MINI will no longer need four-cylinder engines to be fun.

The EV market will undoubtedly change as the MINI Electric GP begins to prove that we only need electrification for a high-performance MINI. It will serve as a starting point for MINI’s all-out making of fully electrified sports cars. This EV will push the brand to develop more performance cars in the future as well. And we will surely crave for more, especially after seeing the MINI Electric GP on its debut.

MINI promised that internal combustion performance cars would continue. But if the MINI Electric GP succeeds, it won’t surprise us if the brand focuses more on a similar line. The new MINI might also start the reality of MINI’s electric performance cars sooner than expected.
