MINI Might Make Electric, RWD Alpine A110 Rival

• https://insideevs.com, By Andrei Nedelea

Back in 2014, MINI showed off a really rather pretty one-off concept, called the Superleggera Vision. It was a roadster with sleek lines and an all-electric powertrain which at the time didn't announce a production model, although it was the source of much speculation.

Well, that may change soon, since the automaker is reportedly considering the creation of a bespoke mid-engined, rear-wheel drive sports car to sit at the top of its range. And just like the pretty Superleggera, there's a high likelihood that it will be an EV.

Australia's Motoring obtained the information from Andreas Lampka, MINI's communications boss. He argued that while the current crop of vehicles are exclusively front-wheel drive (or optionally all-wheel drive), he doesn't exclude the possibility that the company could launch a rear-driven car.
