    The car has "twin axial flux motors"? Is that faster than a flux capacitor?

    lol axial flux means the flux goes parrellel to the axis instead of radially, this allows them to be thinner and lighter, a characteristic that allows them to change speed quickly.

    While flux capacitors don't propel you in the 4th dimension time, they need other means to propel you to 88mph where they start working. Perhaps twin axial motors can be used to energize the flux capacitor.
