I'm not an expert on the matter, but I had the impression that you can buy all kinds of vehicles provided you only run them on a racing track. I suppose that also covers emissions. Normal roads are not for sports, so I see no issue banning features that only benefit motor sports.

That is more or less correct, look at the Aston Martin Vulcan, Ferrari 599XX, P1 GTR, or just about any street-legal car someone has turned into a non street legal race car.

There is an argument to be made whether a feature should be banned from the road or not. I'm not sure having an EV that can accelerate from 0-60mph in 3 seconds is good for road safety either. How are these two any different?

That is a good point, however, I believe the nuance is the future intent of the vehicle’s ‘purpose’.

So, if it is to store value and become a collectible, because of its unique peformance capabilities and driving ‘experience’, that is one thing...

But, if the intent is to eventually have multiples of these vehicles coordinating together to transport safely and quickly through ‘AI’ or ‘AI-assisted safety features’, I can see a possible use for the capability, as well.
