"Doctor Drivel" gurgled happily, sounding much
like they were saying:

The articles are about the future. The electric Mini gets 200 miles
range and outperforms a Porche.

It also has ... a super smooth seamless ride. Fab!

Blimey, why'd they bother starting with a Mini, then - re-engineering the
drivetrain's one thing, but to completely re-engineer the suspension
too...

Then there is the bigger body to house the bigger wheels to house the bigger
brakes.
Regenerative brakes aren't going to cut it in an emergency stop from 170 mph
and neither would brakes that fit in a mini body.
