This electric MINI E has been given a complete makeover by BMW’s approved tuner AC Schnitzer. The car has been tweaked as part of the Essen motor show’s ‘Tune It Safe’ campaign which attempts to highlight the safety implications of modifying cars.
The electric drivetrain remains untouched, so the police MINI gets the same 150 kW, 220 Nm electric motor which allows the car to sprint from 0 – 100 km/h in 8.5 seconds and hit 152 km/h.
However, the boys in blue do benefit from the full German police livery, including the latest Hella roof light bar, while the tuner has also added new 18-inch alloys and a bodykit to enhance the looks. Upgraded brakes and suspension ensure that the MINI’s go-kart handling is even sharper, ensuring that even the handiest criminal wheelman won’t get away.
The MINI E police car is strictly a one-off, but the tuning parts, blue flashing lights aside, are all taken from AC Schnitzer’s current product catalogue.
