Wow! that is cool.
Won't be getting any hate on this forum for the engine choice.
Really like the styling on it, nice body kit and wheels.

No, that's not a Mini.

The owner, wanting to recreate the fixed 50:50 front/rear torque split of the old Audis from the golden era of rallying, got rid of the clutch pack and replaced it with a solid ring gear, which he machined out of a billet. The result is full-time 4WD.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but shouldn't it have either clutchpack or centre diff?  :huh:
