I’d rather stroke my anal beard.
Certain cars with dull engines but cool, quirky design… yes. But for cars where not only the engine but the weight distribution and thus handling are what it’s all about… no. It’s the worst kind of showing off…
IF the conversions offered enough range
IF the conversions offered the ability to use the performance and not clobber the range
IF the conversions handled in a similar manner…
But they invariably don’t.
As I say for some cars they make sense. For me a W123 Estate with EV potential makes sense. All engines bar the straight six are a bit tepid. Perhaps a Citroen DS, for similar reasons. All sorts of retro futuristic JDM stuff from the 80s with miserable four cylinder engines.
I can understand why Ferraris and Porsches garner it - for a fair few it’s all about image and badge, the way it drives and handles is an irrelevance. Now without an ICE they can be doubly smug at dinner parties and impress the babysitter.
But then I saw an EV Alfasud a while ago, which could do only 60 miles between charges, with all the weight in the nose. What was the point?
