ICE aren’t growing much in size and are getting more and more efficient. Why not make them air cooled? Porches used to be aircooled, and those were performance cars with the engine in the back. I would imagine having an engine in the front might be easier to cool, no?
Air cooled engine makes less power, less torque, dumps heat into the cabin, less reliable. No way it’s making a comeback regardless of what full ev will be in the future.
Is it less reliable though?
Yes
