I have looked into rear hub motors for my front wheel drive car, but not too seriously. Hub motors are no "super car" option though: not enough power and not enough speed. QSMotor's hub motors are basically limited to about 70 mph.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
