The MINI is a fairly green car with a gas engine under its hood, but it's much more impressive as a battery-powered electric. The electric has a range of 156 miles, running on more than 5,000 lithium-ion cells. There is 204 horsepower on tap, yielding a zero-to-60 run of 8.5 seconds. A green pocket rocket, as it were.
The only drawback is that only 500 are being made, available only through a one-year lease. Good luck in getting your hands on one, though we met one of the lucky few at a recent conference and she was ecstatic about the MINI E.
