Where could they go if they had kept that FE/RWD layout? That's what I mean by "stuck" in the past. There's no more moving forward with that platform. At some point, you're just sticking with that for nostalgia and heritage and you're no longer trying to stay relevant in the sports car/supercar market.

They could've pushed it further, but it's easier to get performance out of the mid engine layout. Also it appeals to more apparently.
I only say this because the fastest car around the Nurburgring right now is a FE/RWD car.
