After a small, lightweight, fun-to-drive EV? The 640kg, 97hp eMastered might be it...
It can often feel like the same old things are being said about the same old electric vehicles. Too big, too heavy, too hypocritical, and so on. The Mini eMastered from DBA looks to be doing things a little differently. It’s small and light, and so is its battery. It's brisk without being silly and the range is within a handful of miles of something like a Mazda MX-30. Maybe there’s hope after all.
Speaking of which, the eMastered’s spec reads more like the setup for a plug-in hybrid than a full electric vehicle, but then such are the benefits of low mass. The battery is just 18.8kWh , and the motor produces 97hp and 129lb ft, which again feels very modest. But then this newly electrified Mini weighs the same as an original, at just 640kg, and so it’ll reach 62mph in 8.5 seconds, on its way to 92mph.
Far be it from us, however, to criticise a Mini EV that looks this good and weighs probably a third of what a new Countryman plug-in does. For the moment, DBA is a little light on the details that make an eMastered, though it would have to be assumed some thorough restoration and preparation is going to be needed; even modest-for-an-EV torque is quite a lot to hurl an old Mini along, for example. The battery pack looks a neat fit under the bonnet, at least.
