So what if we add in a manual style gear box and fake clutch pedal to an all electric car so that any of the old-fashioned petrol cars can be simulated? With active suspension the full stall experience can be added too. Even the handbrake could be faked for 'handbrake turns'.
For a 'track day' you could choose between many retro 'super-cars' and 'drive' them without the inconvenience of having to get in them or pay the repair bill for crashing the original 'antique'.
In reality, whilst the 'driver' is having great fun thinking he is experiencing what grand-dad's noisy car was like, the car can be driving itself, much like how a horse gives the impression that steering input is needed but is okay on autopilot.
