Well I don't, nor do most people have, the ability to design a car from the ground up. That's great an all about the Volk and designing an optimal cooling system, but I'm talking about things we can do to the vehicles in existence... In our garages and driven every day
I don't presume limitation on what you can build your garage. But using rear-engined cars as examples may be distracting. The closest I've seen to a Diable front end on a front-engined car is the Pontiac Pursuit concept.



It used an I4 laid on it's side, equivalent to a boxer-motor. Here is a thread you might find informative, discussing just moving the radiator to the back: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...ery-26356.html
