I'm a noob. Can someone tell me what those two symmetrical radiator/batter/intake looking things are on either side?

My bet is they are intercoolers. Not 100% sure though.

That's what I reckoned too, because they appear to be "coolers" that are "inbetween" two parts of the engine.

Intercooler

Cold air = better air

Okay, I'm with you. And are the intercoolers placed directly under the "holes" in the rear wheel wells of Porsches, so that air can flow over them and cool them like a radiator? Or do they work fundamentally differently?

Porsche has been making the best ones for years.

Dual function, of course. They also work as money shredders.

intercoolers, just like radiators, are just heat exchangers. The former is cooling air, the latter cools water.

The holes in the rear fenders do feed the intercoolers some air to cool the intake air already compressed by the turbo.

Okay! So then...where is the radiator in a rear-engine car?

Those are the intercoolers for the turbos.

The radiators sit up front, behind the front bumper.

So do they just have a wicked long bit of tubing connecting the radiator up front to the motor in the back?

exactly correct. It's a necessary evil.

Sometimes it's in the sidepod but the amount of cooling needed almost always dictates the position behind the front bumper for street cars

Intercoolers. On the Porsche 911 they get the air from the holes behind the door panel.
