Um... maybe they've been built, but not for public consumption at least.

You can however, convert one. It's somewhere in the first-gen forums. Do a search. IIRC it involves a 4wd B2xxx middle diff and the front transaxle off a 626 and a LOT OF MONEY.

How badly do you want it?

IMHO you should stick to Subies (Subaru) for awd

the mazda 4WD group B car was a triple rotor, came about as ford had developed the RS200. millen also built a gen 2 s4 4WD for pikes peak. millen gen 1 s2 utilised front wheel drive 626 components you could always hit them up for info if your polite. a pre rx7 4WD rotor would make for a very interesting vehicle if you have the funds.
