Yes, the WRC Xsara in real life is 4wd, but the one in the game is not the WRC car. The Xsara was still 2 wheel drive when GT3 was released. The Xsara started out in rallying as an FF and that's the one that's in GT3.
thanks for clearing that up even though i didnt ask the question. I have always watched very closely on the xsara rally car while watching wrc to figure out how many wheels its turning on the launches. And I was a bit confused to see that it was turning all 4 as to the game its a fwd. Hopefully GT4 will adapt to the change as well
