The GXE1002RACE Powerlite Lightweight Race Alternator is identical to Mini Spare’s GXE1002 competition alternator but with a larger pulley to prevent over charging on race cars which spend the majority of their time running at high RPM.
The GXE1002RACE Powerlite Lightweight Race Alternator is suitable for all pre-1997 Mini’s. It weighs 3.2kgs and outputs 55 amps.
It has been designed as a direct bolt-on replacement on pre ‘97 Minis; however, a multi position mounting bracket means that it is also ideal for other race cars and custom/kit car applications. It does not take the standard Mini alternator plug so a small amount of wiring will be needed.
Order as part number: GXE1002RACE at £253.18 inc VAT.

An Audi A1 with over 400 hp (294 kW) and 19-inch wheels with aero rings and a leaf shutter look? These mods alone would make an Audi A1 a real head-turner. If you have seen racing driver Daniel Abt’s ‘making-of’ YouTube video, however, you will know that the true highlight has yet to come: the “free-standing” wide body kit with its spectacular racing look. On 26 September at 6 pm, the racing driver and influencer’s final video showing the dynamism of the “A1 1of1”, went live: youtu.be/1biFE9FxNlI.
Aerodynamic attachments are considered standard elements in vehicle finishing, but free-standing widening components provide a unique look in this creative concept. The project, initiated by Daniel Abt, required vehicle tuner ABT Sportsline’s entire gamut of technical expertise. A particular visual effect is created by the unique “polygon split design”. The geometric pattern was created by Erik Aleksanjan. He is a real petrol-head and was responsible for the look of the Audi RS6 of extreme skier Jon Olsson. The new design consists of polygonal fragments which really break up the contours of the vehicle. The free-standing widening components are decorated with polygons, which are meticulously arranged in formation, to create a particularly dynamic look. This is particularly true for the right-hand side of the vehicle, which has remained mostly red. The highlight of the “split design” is the colour transition towards the driver’s side. There, matt black dominates, which gives the polygon pattern a subtle appearance. The aggressive racing look is rounded off by the enormous carbon rear wing, the highly fragmented carbon hood with several air intakes and the 19-inch ABT ER-F forged wheels in matt black. With their individually designed and internally mounted golden aero-rings, and leaf shutter aesthetics, the rims evoke high-powered Formula E cars. After all, this is where Daniel Abt is a successful racing driver.
The powerful four-cylinder engine has more than twice the power of the largest standard Audi A1 engine, the 40 TFSI, and creates an awesome sound. This was achieved by installing a completely different 2.0 TFSI engine with performance upgrade. The change of the engine and a sound check can, of course, also be seen on YouTube. The aggressive sound is partly due to the stainless steel exhaust system with twin 114 mm pipes and carbon tails. In order to further improve performance, the team around Daniel Abt installed H&R suspension springs and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 265/30 R19 red-wall tyres. As befits a real racer, the interior was also enhanced with a roll-over bar and a whole host of additional interesting details. The look and feel of the interior was completely personalised and covered almost entirely with Alcantara. As such, the “A1 1of1” is a fascinating one-of-a-kind masterpiece. If you want to give your A1 40 TFSI more drive and spirit, ABT offers an attractive package: In addition to the performance upgrade from 200 hp to 240 hp (147 kW to 176 kW), ABT suspension springs and 18-inch ABT SPORT GR alloy wheels with 215/40 R18 tyres are also included. As a tribute to the A1 1of1 by Daniel Abt, a DA sticker set is also supplied. For real fans of the unique car, there is also a new fashion collection: https://danielabt.de.
Audi A6, A7 and Q8: three characteristically different premium cars, each available with the 3.0 TFSI engine, delivering 340 hp (250 kW) as standard. That all sounds rather appealing, but ABT Sportsline boosts the turbo-charged trio beyond the 400 hp mark, now. This is made possible by the performance upgrade ABT Power, which is based on the high-tech control unit ABT Engine Control (AEC). To quote specific figures: This means that the performance increases from 340 hp to 408 hp (250 kW to 300 kW) – a significant plus of 68 hp. The torque is increased from 500 Nm to a phenomenal 550 Nm. With the performance question resolved, now you have the choice between the versatile and dynamic Audi A6, the extravagant Audi A7 or the powerful SUV Audi Q8. The latter can even be lowered electronically with the ABT Level Control for the standard air suspension.
Regardless of the choice you make, the engineers at ABT Sportsline stand for the quality of the performance upgrades. The development of each ABT performance upgrade comprises elaborate calibration via both dynamometer tests and public road trips and comprehensive engine protection measures. Furthermore, attractive warranties are also optionally available.
ABT Sportsline provides more speed, however the visuals are not ignored. The Bavarian company also supplies a wide range of aesthetic highlights for the “Big Three”. Several ABT Aerodynamic add-on components are available. The interior can also be enhanced with the ABT Interior range. The world’s largest tuner of vehicles from Audi and VW provides a large range of high-quality ABT Sports Wheels.
