"he has a british x-trac 4 wheel drive transmission".

That's all I heard him say about it.

I am loving that Renualt 5 turbo in 2nd place.

That's an MG Metro 6R4 Group B car.

But it looks sluggish in comparison to the M3 - are we really sure this M3 is AWD though?

The 6R4 runs what's basically a Cosworth "DFV" F1 engine with 2 cylinders cut off to make it a V6. This is the same engine they later adapted to use in the Jag XJ220 supercar. Unlike the rest of the Group B field, these engines were normally aspirated and "only" made 450 hp or so.

Care to explain the awd in this e30?

I'm pretty sure thats an MG Austin Metro and not a Renualt, They had a group B version

EDIT, just realized someone already said that

Hybrid car built for rallycross, purpose built car that is all. Cool but not as cool as the rallye M3's.

The video says the E30 "has a British Xtrac 4-wheel-drive transmission." So, I guess it's been converted to run an Xtrac set-up. I'd never heard of this before, either.

Good god! I haven't experienced this high a level of want since the first time I went to a gentlemen's club.

That thing drives like a 3000 lb Yamaha Banshee

I don't know what to be more impressed with; the fact that it's an AWD M3 or that the British Xtrac didn't break.
