Sorry, I misread the question... I though the question was rear engine 
that also drove the front wheels...awd.... only the French could come up 
with something as bizzare as rear engine, front wheel drive.

He was worried that the sports car was becoming more and more obscure due to the increased speed limits. What was bizzare was that despite the fact that the car was rear-engined, it was front wheel drive. When he asked for Government funding, it was refused. They told him that cities would soon be inaccessible to cars, and so his little car had no future. The idea of a monospace was ahead of its time but the rear-engine/front wheel drive layout made no sense."
