Snappy manual gearbox - I'd prefer a paddle, or sequential.
Sport bucket seats - style over substance in a lot of cars, and could be added to any vehicle.
Sporty styling with widened wheel arches - as with bucket seats.
A rorty exhaust noise - becomes a monotonous drone that induces headaches on commutes.
Feelsome steering and precise handling - are you sure they are missing in an EV?

What you describe as appealing to a car enthusiast sounds more like the type of car that appeals to some motor-sport enthusiasts. The features are more suited to a track than an urban environment, and basically suggest a car that is styled to appeal to the boy-racer fraternity as opposed to having any real practicality.
