I am aware this is an electric car discussion, but seeing as there is more flexibility of cooling in electric cars, why is the radiator always in the front? Is it because the stagnation point is there anyway so there isn't much inlet drag, or is it due to pressure differentials, lift reduction?
It seems to me, from a very limited understanding, that taking cooling air in at the sides and venting into the wake could lower drag compared to a front radiator by allowing a better shaped nose, but I am yet to see a car that does it. (well at least exclusively, many lamborghini have side cooling vents)
