So Lamborghini made my dreams come true with the new Huracan - A performance car that can be 100% RWD and switch to 50/50 4WD at the press of a button (I assume). But that got me thinking. Are there any mid-engine 4WD cars out there that aren't Lamborghinis?

You hoo!

But not as good as a Lambo!

I'm not entirely sure that's how the Huracan works. I think it's AWD that can send 100% to the rear if the computer needs it

As far as your questions. Theres a kit car company that does it with WRX donors, putting the engine in the middle. Maybe we'll be lucky enough someday for a Cayman 4.

Let me just throw up.

Also, just do a RWD conversion for the old Lambos. It is 100% mechanical so it is "easy"

Another good one, but it qualifies in it's own special way. The front is only powered by one 125hp electric motor.

But.. then it won't be 4WD, and it will still be a Lambo.

Oh how I want them to actually make these. (It is still concept I assume)

Don't ruin my dreams now, Lamborghini. If it's not user selectable, well it should be.

Veyron is mid/AWD.

Then there are several "front-mid"/AWD combos, which obviously don't count (GT-R, Previa minivan, G35/G37, M35/45/37/56), and rear/AWD combos which should count (911 4/4S/Turbo).

Yeah that would be awesome! Makes the car so much more predictable. Cars like the Murcie should have been RWD!

It's not. Hopefully your dream will be here with the next edition/refresh.
