Could Ford or FCA have any plans in the works to put this in a mustang or challenger?

Wonder if it would fit to make an awd mustang or challenger using this electric axle powering the front wheels instead of a traditional engine and transfer case layout?

87hp but a mind blowing 1475 lb-ft of tq. from a pretty small unit.

think of the drivetrain options!

1. rwd with fwd powered by the electric axle

2. put this in the back of a small fwd car to power the rear wheels

3. full retard and put 2 in a gutted junk box wbody shell or any shell for that matter and have a whole 174 hp but almost 3000 lb-ft of tq i know james would like this idea........

When talking "hybrid" the first thing that comes to mind is Prius owners camping in the left lane.

Cannot stand those fuckers and wish the pit maneuver was legal.

I thought in most configurations like that the engine is driving the front wheels and the electric motors are turning the rear wheels. Your configuration sounds good, but that is a lot of stuff up front. She'd be nose heavy for sure.
