But we can have our cake and eat it....
Methanol is a great fuel. It's better for the environment than petrol (gasoline) and has the recommendation of the Indy 500 in it's favour... plus there's speculation that fuel cells and hydrogen may power future cars.
Electric power = maximum torque from zero rpm. How great is that? From zero to 10,000 rpm solid torque curve. An American Le Mans racer used electric power to realise such heady outputs in 1996, via a flywheel. We've just got to adapt from what we're used to but there's no reason whay a future sports car shouldn't pull and sound as nice as what we're used to.
