Eye-rolling skeumorphism aside, the axial flux motor design has a power / torque / rpm profile closer to explosion-powered engine and could reasonably (?) be designed with an actual transmission. While axial flux motors are smaller than than induction motors, I doubt an axial flux motor + transmission can be more effective than an induction motor alone. Combining it with an explosion engine is more interesting though. The 2023 McLaren Artura uses an axial flux motor fused with the engine to maximize total power production even through low acceleration parts of a track, by running the engine while decelerating to charge the battery then the electric motor kicks in to boost acceleration on the flip side.
