Are there cars that run without radiators?

While traditional cars rely on radiators to cool the engine, some vehicles do not use radiators in the traditional sense. Here are some examples:

* Air-cooled engines: These engines, often found in older Volkswagens and motorcycles, use fins on the engine block to transfer heat directly to the surrounding air.

* Electric vehicles: Electric cars don't have combustion engines and don't require radiators for engine cooling. Instead, they have liquid-cooled batteries and electric motors that utilize different cooling systems.

* Hybrid vehicles: Some hybrids use a combination of internal combustion engines and electric motors. While they may have a radiator for the engine, they may also use other cooling systems for the electric motor and battery.

So, while the term "car without a radiator" can be misleading, some vehicles do exist that don't rely on a radiator for cooling. It's important to remember that the specific cooling system used depends on the vehicle's design and power source.
