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?

Not to mention air cooled VW and Porsche engines only made like 60HP. Far from a "fun" engine unless you find things like getting a full night's rest or eating rice cakes "fun."

What a load of crap you are spewing.

Porche 911 GT2 (993) produced 331kw (443hp) with an air cooled engine.

Well I stand corrected! That's an incredible amount of power from a small, air-cooled engine.
