Changing to an EV drivetrain and balancing the weight would ruin it.
I read about a company that was backdating 80's 911s to 60's looking ones, and electric converting them at the same time (was a similar cost to the one upthread).
They suggested that the extra weight and being able to place it around the car made them better driving, but also admitted that getting rid of the handling 'quirks' of that period car could easily be interpreted as ruining it.

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.
