For a fun oriented EV, I'd go with a transverse mid/rear engined roadster, a ~30 kWh battery pack, multilink rear suspension, MacPherson strut or dual whishbone front suspension and 60% of the weight on the rear axle.
This would allow a weight of about 1000 kg if done right. (done the math for converting my MR2)
For a fun oriented vehicle, I'd not use torque vectoring, but go for a torsen differential and skip electric power steering in favor of a manual steering rack.
A manual rack here would not require much strength as the car would only have about 400 kg on the front axle, but it would provide great feedback.
As for the battery, I would go with a T-shaped pack, fitting partialy in the (rear) engine bay as well as into the "gearbox tunnel".
But that's just how I'd do it
