Integrale Question

[simonigrale]

Does an Evo Bodied 8v Kat have the same torque split as a later car with more drive going to the rear or is it the same as an earlier 8v car with more drive going to the front ?

Thanks

If it's an Evo 8v Kat.. (built for the Swiss Market only). it has the same 47f 53r as any other Evo..

If it's an integrale 8v wearing Evo bodywork.. it will be 56f 44r.

What!!! - fked if I know...... I only own one!!

All 8V Kats had the rear bias torque split. Only the 8V non-cat had the 8V torque split.

Ahhh!! That explains a few questions I was being asked about my car when I sold it. Wtf dont ppl just ask whether its a Swiss car then?

A lot of people don't know the Swiss cars exist and assume when people say Evo Kat they mean Evo 2.

I'm told the 8v is a more reliable engine and can be tweeked fairly easily to give 230 + HP.

If those 8v Evos ever come up for sale they usually fetch 6-7500 grand which is quite a bit cheeper than a 16v Evo.

I would love an Evo 2 but after buying the Ferrari I can't stretch to 15-20k for a second toy.

I have also considered an Alfa 155 Q4 with the later wide body but finding one of those in this country is impossible ?
