...definately room for a electric powered Midas if anyone dares to the plunge for something different.
I've even seen a motor bolted to a plate on top of a Mini gearbox directly driving the gears/diff so that you can use the gears (clutch not necessary).
With better battery Li ion technology these days possibilities are there.
A smart was recently done using same idea. I wonder how the smart cars weight compares to a midas.
