<VV> drive wheels

[corvair at mts.net]

Bill,
Last time I checked the Carrera 4 was four-wheel-drive. I did find this reference though:

"Jean Rédelé of Alpine developed a small monospace on the platform of the Renault 4 in his factory in Dieppe. He was worried that the sports car was becoming more and more obscure due to the increased speed limits. What was bizzare was that despite the fact that the car was rear-engined, it was front wheel drive. When he asked for Government funding, it was refused. They told him that cities would soon be inaccessible to cars, and so his little car had no future. The idea of a monospace was ahead of its time but the rear-engine/front wheel drive layout made no sense."

Yes, Porsche 911 Carerra 4. Completely transforms the car, completely 
taming its tailhappy behavior. This either perfects or ruins the car 
depending on your perspective!
