Has any done a rear engine forfour brabus ..thinking of putting one in the back as well....roughly would be 460 plus hp..4 wheel drive sounds good to me

Nothing is impossible....
it would obviously end up as a 2 seater as the fuel tank would have
to be repositioned where the back seats are.

Hate to think of the amount of checking, planning, thought, money
and work it would take/involve...let alone the cost to insure it !

Ok it was just a thought

To make it as a hobby car I wouldn't see why not. At university one club member made this.





so making a rear engine 454 is not out of question! making it AWD then makes it more complex but totally doable with heavy body modification. There is one Mitsubishi Colt Cz3 WRC Rally sprint AWD with build pictures: http://www.kosunenracing.com/ecar.html

They did make a few of these.
There was a problem with this: The front and rear axles were rigidly joined. This means that with slightly different sizes of wheels the car kept jumping  while moving.
 Hopefully you will put a differential in between the axles.

From personal experience a 4wd capri was superb!

In the 1950s Citroën created this interesting version of the 2CV. They made just fewer than 700 and one sold last year for €173,000!
