6 MPS (MAZDASPEED6 in the U.S.)

"Active Torque Split" proactive automatic all wheel drive. Normally front-wheel drive vehicle. Electronically controlled multiplate electromagnetic clutch transfers up to 100% of torque to the rear when needed. Limited-slip differential in the rear.

The MAZDASPEED6 with advanced AWD system analyzes real-time data on steering angle, yaw rate, lateral G-force and engine status to establish up-to-minute road surface conditions, and the vehicle's dynamic status. Normal, Sport, and Snow modes give the perfect amount of torque where it is most needed, and have a performance reaction that leaves conventional gear- or fluid-controlled systems in the dust. Front/rear torque distribution varies from 100/0 to 50/50.

Both estates (station wagons), the 626 and 323 in 4WD where very rare, I have seen about 10 years ago a 626 4WD and have owned a 323 4WD. Unfortunatly I dont have any pictures of that vehicule and I've searched the web and never found one either.
If anyone finds dobleepedentations, catalogues places or countries where they were comercialized and number of cars issued, please feed back.
Thank you.
