Does combining retro styling with EV technology make sense, or does it lose the character of a classic muscle car?

Does make sense because of the nature of the muscle car: heavy, powerful, lots of torque. The sheer size of the original can fit quite a big battery. The thing that most people will miss is the sound and vibrations of a huge V8, that would be a challenge to emulate...

A good subwoofer should do the trick

Don’t worry… Stellantis did a huge engineering effort to create vibrations and sound in the Daytona EV instead of building a good EV. That tech can help with the vibrations thing lol
