The E Classic Mini is a vintage motor for the 21st century

Electric cars are a great example of tech catching up with our 21st century ideals, but what if you don’t want to leave the classic motors of yesteryear behind? Well, it sounds like you need to chat with the folks over at UK tech outfit Swind. The British company has just blown the bloody doors off its latest creation, the E Classic Mini (£79,000). The vintage whip combines the iconic original Mini with a state-of-the-art electric motor, electronics, and battery, delivering a gorgeous classic car with a zero emission top speed of 80mph and a range of 125 miles. Dubbed “the classic of the future,” we’re finding it hard to argue with that rather bold assessment.

About

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
