front wheels maybe , but that Limited Slip Differential does help a lot.

the Autodelta guys said that 400hp it`s the limit for this chassis

and take a look at that torque 425nm@4700rpm :shock:

Yeah, help a lot don't means works properly... Anyway, it don't spoils the fun of have 400bhp at your disposal... It might be better than drugs...

They spent too much money in the engine to gain 150 more hp... when they could and should have designed a AWD system for that money...
they could've retrofit the Volvo AWD system to it, surely
some people are only about the power gains

That's why the next Autodelta super saloon/sedan will be 4wd. The 159 GTM AM

The 159 GTA Autodelta is going to be 4wd simply because the normal 159 comes in 4wd versions... The 156 was only fwd, so making a 4wd platform ONLY for a limited amount of cars(the 156 GTA Autodelta with the 400bhp is a VERY limited prod. car, its more like a tribute to the 156) would have been pointless..
