Some translations. :P

It's a former rally cross car from the 80's. It had a B21 based Group-A 242 spec turbo engine in it before. So the 80's racing history is probably the main reason for kinda exotic technical choices.

The transfer case is made by Ferguson. Both diffs are 3.0 BMW diffs and the box is a M50 Getrag. So it's kinda part from here and a part from there. Ferguson transfer case isn't a continous 50/50, it delivers power when needed. There's also a freewheel/overrunning clutch before the front diff, whichs disconnects the front diff during motor braking. Owner says it's quite archaic and nowadays there would be much better choices for a 4x4 drive line. :P

Engine now is a B230 from a -97 940. H-profile rods, HX35, Megasquirt etc...
