But you could move the battery to the front and get rid of the silly rear-engined weight distribution.

What does the transmission/fuel tank weigh out of that? It’s not like you’re just adding 1/3rd existing weight.

A 911 SC, which was the base for this conversion, is around 1200kg empty. Add 80l of fuel and you are just under what a conversion that’s done right should weigh. Weight distribution goes from 60/40 to 55/45 ish.
Voiture Extravert still don’t have a road registered car. And their price has risen.*Disclaimer: the conversion company I work for did not build or helped build this Porsche.
And having driven converted DSs; they are wonderful.
Converting existing cars makes no financial sense whatsoever. They are fun though. And nicer to look at than a diesel SUV.

For reference a complete 911 of that age is around 900kg, less for a lightweight/race/rally, so the EV conversion is not all positive.
I think it actually suits more luxurious vehicles more- you don’t expect a DS to corner, wafting along silently would be great though.
