Nothing wrong with the engines! Except maybe slightly over proportioned. 2 x 165 kW is close to 450 hp and electric motors have much better torque and faster acceleration. So the real challenge will be finding enough juice for your batteries so you won't get stuck in the Rumanian Carpathians with a grumpy wife and two screaming kids.
I never suffered from gasoline nostalgia. I kind of invested that part of my brain in pornography and single malt whisky. But yes, batteries suck greatly and gasoline is killer fuel - with the motors it is the other way around. I bike until perfection is achieved...
You don't know what you are missing. I especially liked the sound and smell of my 1971 Citroën DS, which didn't have a catalytic converter. A cold start blackened the street, and you could watch the woods wither in her wake. Bliss.

Yes, I am aware of that technical stuff, but batteries suck greatly, and electric motors don't sound good. Blip the throttle and kill a tree, I say.

At least I can appreciate the most beautiful car ever. I love the look of the DS.
