An all wheel drive turbine/electric car.
Constant speed gas turbine powered alternator powering four in-wheel direct drive electric motors. All four used for acceleration and turning, just two, or maybe even one for steady speed.
Steering angle sensing, electronic differential, when turning, power distributed evenly regardless of wheel speed.
Electric (induction) braking as used on diesel locomotives.
Best wishes with your projects, a restored older car carries more panache for me than anything I could buy new.
