I feel temps make a bigger difference to the handling properties of this car because of the tires. Crazy hypothetical but now wouldn't it be nifty to have optional AWD for the winter and be able to completely disengage it for hooligan fun times (disregarding the weight gain, of course)!
Should be easy to do. Just do a Ferrari FF AWD system.

It weighs only 50% of a traditional AWD system and is independently controllable. It takes the drive from the front end of the crankshaft instead of from the gearbox as other systems do.
