I think it's still AWD, at least that's what the original poster used for a title

It's a show car, it doesn't have to... But it seems very well done so I would hope they made sure to set it up with the right equipment to handle the load. Also, I don't think it's that big of a deal for most MTs to handle 9k rpms.

Are you sure that's AWD? Lots of rally cars used to be RWD, many still are on the SCCA level, so just because that's a rally car doesn't mean it's AWD.

This was the caption: Rod Millen not to be outdone by the all conquering Audi Quattro campaigned by Buffum, built a 4 wheel drive Rx7!

the Rod millen RX7's are most definately AWD, they use the AWD hardware from the mazda 323GTX up front with lots of custom goodies to make it all work right!

Cool, do you know if this was for group B rally, or some other form of rally?
