I need to keep this article away from my daughter. She has been after me to buy a mini, but I have convinced her that hybrid is the way to go at the moment. If she sees this - there will be no stopping her

What an awsome concept.

One downside, don't like the protruding wheels.

"A British engineering firm" is not the auto company. The modified car isn't for sale.

Sounds neat and clean. I am always a bit sceptical of things like this, which sound a bit too much like PR press releases. I'd LOVE to see a third party driving test on this one.

I do love the concept, though. I particularly like that their "in wheel" concept is easy to adapt to a standard chassis with little modification. Now if they can only get someone to produce it....

150 mph IN REVERSE!

Watch the video, a lot more interesting than the article.
