[DeTomaso] Electric anyone?

[Joseph F. Byrd, Jr.]

Never seen nor even cared to read about EVs,
But I suspected the motor and electronics do generate a bunch of heat, so a "radiator" might be needed.
The stationary generators(same as a big motor) I onced worked used hollow wires and circulated oil or water for cooling (designers were working on using liquid N2)

 I doubt they're oil lines.  I suspect they're heavy cabling for the batteries up front to power the motor in back.
But yeah, electric sounds nice and green and politically correct, but the manufacture and disposal of all those batteries is much more harmful to the environment than an internal combustion engine.

 Not a fan of electric cars. I question the quality of this 911 build. You can see from the photo the two oil lines from the right front fender oil cooler that run to the oil tank behind the right rear wheel. What do suppose they are using that for? Or, is the thought that if you don’t like it, you can always drop in an awesome flat six with six Weber’s howling behind you for a soundtrack as you fly down tiny back roads with relative  ease?
