      batteries and inverters definitely take up more volume than an ice drivetrain. the advantage is that they can be put in more places than the mechanical linkages.

        I’m pretty sure an ICE takes up more space, there’s a lot more components to it. There’s some very slim EV super cars. And yeah, way more flexibility with an EV system.

      My point is simply that electric vs combustion power distribution and volume / mass differences make it, I assume, difficult to maintain the same design language.

        Not at all, there’s loads of fully electric super cars that look just how you would expect, sleeker even. This was a deliberate design decision from Ferrari.
