ICE aren’t growing much in size and are getting more and more efficient. Why not make them air cooled? Porches used to be aircooled, and those were performance cars with the engine in the back. I would imagine having an engine in the front might be easier to cool, no?
Why is an ICE more “fun” than an electric motor other than “makes big noise”?
Likely due to how an ICE works compared to an electric one, if you actually like working on them. Modding an ICE is leagues more interesting and complicated than… well, good luck modifying an electric motor is all I can say.
That said, driving an electric car is probably more fun, unless you are doing a long canyon run or you want a light vehicle.
