    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 :D

    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.
