Hot EV takes the fight to Alpine A290 with 258hp and £38k starting price
Hot EV takes the fight to Alpine A290 with 258hp and £38k starting priceWhile many performance EVs are about as interesting as warm milk, the advent of electrified superminis does hold some appeal. Being very nippy and nicely balanced and good in town plays to the strengths of battery-powered cars, and the newcomers don’t need to worry so much about being compared to evocative petrol engines because modern four-cylinder units are typically harder to reminisce about than V8s.
For now, Mini does not go into exhaustive detail about changes made to the chassis but the manufacturer reckons it ‘maximises’ the trademark handling, and suggests that the model will be sold as standard with high performance tyres. They will not have a tremendous amount more to do than in the 218hp SE unless you select the ‘John Cooper Works’ mode that accesses the car’s new 258hp headline figure.
