Cant see it happening ever?
Adam has gone to Durango, and they are apparently going to work on a 2WD.
Look at how long it took HB to bother to make a challenger for the RC12L4......by the time HB release a 2WD AE will be debuting the B6 probably lol

Europe wants midmotor
America wants rear motor

HB says: well, no money for 2 cars, we will make no car.

CR2 is quite a quick change to make that happen G, couple more screw holes in the rear of chassis and it is VEEEEERY quick to do

Looking forward to this car.

It would be a little disappointing if it was no different from the publicly shown prototype after such a long time till release. Probably will have a mid-moter, or maybe swappable if they read this

Since the spyshots, the R&D on the D2 has moved to the states or japan. They run different stuff to us so there's every chance that things could have been redesigned to their ideas.
