An engine for each axle still going to have traction issues in 1st and 2nd, especially at the front.

Doubt it would be as fast as a fwd mini with 200 bananas, due to the extra weight. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Must admit, if space/ funds/ time allowed, I'd have a crack at ripping an Impreza WRXSTi to pieces and fitting it in to a (probably spaceframed) Mini. I suddenly remembered the Sti Quad by Ken Brough: (he did an buggy too) "it is doubtful if anyone but a car enthusiast could understand his motivations" 
Insane... but nice accomplishment building it... Dazed and Confused.... |

There is the extra weight and also extra losses with 4wd, but imo would make up for it in pure grip, it's the one thing that let my mini down, and I feel many will agree (Brett at Santa pod being one) Audi s4 b5 - 470bhp & 486ft lbs

all this being said though the mini engine is the wrong engine for 4wd i toyed with 2 different settups before settling on my a-series because to me it HAS to be a-series to be a mini the traction issues/torque steer/ bump steer/ mini anckle all this is why i came back to minis ( from supra's) its what we do it for Yes i moved to the darkside |

on 200bhp 4wd will let you nail the launch but hurt you all the way down the track because you have the grip to go but then waste more power on the drivetrain

I fancy the idea of a Cosworth xd engine in the back of a space framed mini pickup, only 2.6 litres so you don't spin the power away off the line with tonnes of torque, but 15k rpm to make up for it.

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |

Asthetics was never allans strong point ( no offence Allan!) but he can drive and all his cars put down good times, and I believe that's the whole point of Motorsport.
