But back then no one was brainstorming a control unit like Paul and others are doing now.

My goal is to get hold of a BMW Z3 and make a few changes...

I know, most people go with Miatas but being 6'1" I don't quite fit. Not very well at least...

I think it was the 3rd gen Prius. I'll dig up the Oak Ridge lab tests... There are also some impressive motors in the Highlander's front transmission and the Camry.

If you are considering building a custom case for these motors - I'm VERY interested! Please keep me in the loop on that one. I would like to make a compact double motor two output power unit, so you could use the "electronic differential" Do you have access to a CNC for that?
