This is exactly the point right? A 911 has a character that's different to anything because of its weight distribution. Changing to an EV drivetrain and balancing the weight would ruin it. I'm with you, large wafty cars for EV and especially the Citroen DS. Sports cars need to be light to have really enjoyable handling characteristics.

Have a look at the weight distribution of most modern race cars, then have a look at the weight distribution of a 911.
Then look at where the Porsche engineers put the engine in the 911 RSR race car, as soon as the rules allowed them to move the engine location and rotate the engine and gearbox 180 degrees.
It's not all about weight distribution - the polar moment of inertia is an important factor in a race car too.
