Low volume high end cars usually had a lot of overengineered solutions to problems that are now easily solved in modern budget cars by software and new materials/manufacturing. They could come up with a complicated battery system that gives them more design flexibility if they wanted to. They fucking should frankly.

The one in the pictures had a fuel bladder system IIRC. Not as exotic as figuring out asymmetrical distribution of multiple different sized battery boxes, but they did weird stuff to make their cars all the time. That’s the point of exotic cars that look stupidly different from other cars.

Cars are a weird one because they are a big part of the system of why the world sucks and luxury cars are just absurdly expensive status symbols. But fancy cars used to mean cool engineering! I’m even all for keeping most cars running on gasoline so long as there’s 90% fewer cars on the road. Usually online you can’t hate cars (the economic-social phenomenon ) and love cars (cool torque machine living room) at the same time. And I hate that
