Not sure how @johnnettles2 finds his later car but my dad's earlier ID19 isn't something that could really describe as "hustling". It is incredibly fun though and a real occasion every time you drive it.

The ds19 was a proven rally car wining the Montecarlo rally.
The DS is not a sports car, it is a car and suspension system that require forward thought and a different driving style to a normal car.
The DS can be hustled, and the was shown when the ds and driver saved Dr Gaulle life after an assination attempt.

Would you not lose the essence of a DS by sticking batteries in it? According to Wikipedia they only weigh 1300kg which by modern standards is light. I'd imagine they are quite fun to hustle along a wide A road with the body rolling about but the wheels staying where they should because of the suspension. Also the puggy engine would be part of the fun as you roll along puffing on a Disque Bleu, half cut from the carafe of wine you shared over lunch.
