Hi silvermazda,
No. No huge number of junctions or huge heat sinks will help. I can show you the math if you like, but the bottom line is that if your car needs 10 hp to cruise, and you replace the radiator with a vast number of reversed peltiers the best you can do is about 15 watts of electric power at cruise. And approximately no electric power at idle.
