Worst possible space efficiency and somewhat tricky routing. Lots of parts and complexity. But arguably the best performance and balance if you can deal with the cost and mass. Not uncommon, see Lamborghini, Porsche.
Pretty much obsolete at the top tier, though, since electric motors can trivially distribute the weight and drive even better.
