Created by British outfit David Brown Automotive, the eMastered has 97 horsepower and weighs a claimed 1410 pounds—basically identical to the original.
By fitting an electric powertrain into an original Mini, David Brown Automotive's Mini eMastered takes a 1960s classic into the future
Power comes from an 18.8-kWh battery pack with a 97-hp electric motor. Most importantly, this Mini restomod remains a featherweightSituated just a scone's throw from the Silverstone racing curcuit, Northampton-based David Brown Automotive is a specialist at coaxing out the best of 1960s Britain. Previous creations include the thoroughly modernized yet coachbuilt Aston Martin DB5–inspiredand a variety of restomodded original Minis.
The eMastered is fitted with an 18.8 kWh battery which is paired with an electric motor producing 97 horsepower and 129 pound-feet of torque. The torque's a hefty dollop of grunt for a car this small, but the power rating isn't far off what a decent tuner can get out of the 1275 cc combustion engine you got in later Cooper models. The real headline here is the 1410-pound curb weight, which is basically identical to the original.
Still, as a thoroughly future-proofed and impeccably built version of one of the most charismatic cars ever made, the eMastered is charming. Sure, you could spend the same amount and get some 4000-pound EV crossover with more power, range, and performance. But with a proper Mini, less is more.
