Excuse my ignorance, but what is that electric motor doing on the rear diff? Or am I seeing this from the wrong angle?

Is that the front of the car then?

It's obvious to me that the car is mid-engined, so the alternator would be in the back....

So what exactly is driving the alternator, it doesn't look like it's anywhere near the engine?

In race cars it's not unusual to drive the alternator by other means, such as off drive shafts etc.

This is to free up power.

Edit: corrected spelling.
