^ AWD is for me more of a nanny then PASM.
A Cayman 4S would still be possible tough modifications would be necessary.

In F1 when AWD came along in the late 1960s one of the solutions was to put the gearbox in front of the engine and therefor to spin/rotate/reverse the engine.

But the compromises (to handling, feeling, driveability) meant such cars were despised by drivers, who protested against driving them, and some say Graham Hill went as far as to intentionally crash the AWD Lotus 63 so as not to drive it.


Still some of the great cars were mid engine AWD, like the Group B Lancia 037
and "Delta" S4, the Peugeot "205" T16 Evo2.

And now we have the teriffic Audi R8 and Gallardo twins.
