:D, still had to give you a hard time.
And I though the r400 was fwd.. Oh well, I stand corrected. VAG does a great job producing some pretty ghastly i4 engines, but still doesn't beat a nice 383, 454, 302, 440.. I need to get a car, lol.
Nah, even vw once said it would have been pointless to make the r400 fwd. They instead took all the best parts of previous awd systems and built a better version for the 400
"Volkswagen's latest concept employs a six-speed manual gearbox and the latest version of Volkswagen's Haldex multiplate clutch 4Motion four-wheel drive system, a combination that has also been taken from the new Golf R.
The electromechanical 4Motion four-wheel drive system constantly alters the amount of drive sent to the front and rear axles, with up to 100 percent of the torque able to be channeled to either end depending on prevailing levels of traction. It operates in combination with Volkswagen's EDS and XDS+ electronic differential locks as part of the Golf R400's multifunction ESP system, which also boasts a sport function to allow a less aggressive intervention of the electronic nannies when the driving conditions permit."
