Actually surprised that Newey didn't design a MAWD X1, maybe it slipped him. Perhaps the KERS also drives the front wheels?
Anyway, for the intent and purpose of the FT-86, awd is useless. A GT4 spec honestly, would be welcome, but you know you get what you pay for, so expect it to cost a pretty penny were it to happen.

Current mechanical and aero grip levels are such that they are faster RWD than they could be AWD with the extra weight. They would need to chop the tires in half or double the power on the F1 cars before an AWD system would be competitive.
And yeah, there weren't any AWD AE86's...
