They are only linked via VCU sending torque request to each motor.

Independent power control unit provide exhilarating acceleration and assured traction, with no unwanted wheelspins.

 

Which brake system do you use and how did the car be cooled?

We have on a technical prototype Porsche 997 disc brakes. The car systems are air cooled partly cooled with water in production version.
