Awd
An AWD is, just the torque is limited 'til its needed, I think the rear diff etc would take the full power, it does in a (^) and thats essentially where the components started off

lol i dont think a group B quattro had haldex sized rear driveshafts...or even a normal RS2 quattro for that matter *rolls eyes*
i suppose the saving grace is that it'll only ever have to put down half the power that the engine can produce alex

This is how I understood it - I read somwhere that under normal conditions, it's 90% to the front, but up to 50% can be diverted to the rear when traction is needed, but I cant remember where I read that.

The focus rs gearbox mates up to the volvo block.So the cosworth 4wd gearbox will also mate up to the volvo block coupled this with sierra shafts and a big diff on the back it would be a goer

Remember the V50 was designed as a AWD too so you could use the components from that on your ford . as the C30 polestar concept car did ..
