The trick with modern cars and electronic throttles is that they can fiddle with the throttle response to suit different driving "Modes" Even my deisel work car does it, put it in the most sporting mode (In an oiler AWD wagon!) and it holds gears longer, kicks down more enthusiastically but also shows significantly sharper throttle response.

I have fitted an electronic throttle setup in my race car and have plans for multiple selectable throttle maps. Being a turbo car with power delivery best described as "Sudden" it will be handy if it rains to be able to switch to a throttle mapping that significantly softens the power delivery. Nowadays they don't so much map throttle opening as map torque delivery, you can have the pedal held in one position and have the actual throttle plate more or less dancing the samba though the rev range to deliver what you are asking for.
