The increased efficiency is a result of that.
Nothing new here. In fact it's actually a lighter way to get AWD. You eliminate the need for a transfer case and associated drive shafts. Which how the weight was kept low.
Cool, like I said, but adding a second motor is not a game changer. Nor is a 10% increase in range. The Volt gained 10% with it's new battery a few years ago and no one was calling that a game changer either.................because it isn't.
This is very cool. Just not a unique or new idea to add a second electric motor. There have been prototypes over the years with one motor per wheel.

Results change the game, not concepts. Facebook didn't invent online social networking services and Apple sure as hell didn't invent the smartphone or even make the one with the best hardware. This is an electric luxury sedan that starts around z06 price with
more power than z06, it has greater range than the current version that has been very popular, and it has AWD. It is a big deal.
