    I have to admit, I didn't want to click that link. I bought a mini because I think the SUV craze is just awful. I'm sure glad I changed my mind - thank you for sharing!

    The artist's use of Power Spoke wheels makes it clear this height-enhanced MINI is a based on a MINI Electric, so perhaps it won't tip over as easily as it would have without the low-mounted battery.

    Yup. In their words, "Probably a good idea to make it an EV or hybrid and stick a heavy battery down here".
