A low CoG helps, for sure. But if the car is twice as heavy everything that holds the car off the road needs to be twice as strong to handle it. And then there’s still inertia to deal with, especially when turning or braking.
And then to get the same amount of performance out of it they need to make it incredibly overpowered, and then sell it to people who have no business driving something that can go 0-60 in four seconds.
I checked to see if there were any EV sports cars because having handling like that would be amazing, but the ones that aren’t hypercars are all just special trims on base model cars.
