Good question. It's a viscous coupled front diff- so only starts transferring power when the front slips, so it's there to help out rather than there all the time. I've never driven one so can't comment, Hefty might well know however.

Hefty in reply to @Dammit

If you want to stop lusting after a C4S book a test drive in one. Drive there is your narrow car, then drive the 4S the same route out and back.

All desire to own one will be quashed.

They're too fat, the tyres are too wide, the turn in is lazy and the ride is too bumpy.

They look phat&rude but that is the only possible reason to get one.

TLDR: Hefty no likely C4S

I noticed the width of a C4S when I cycled behind one recently, (nothing heroic, just slow moving traffic).
The rear wheels appeared to wholly outside/beyond the passenger compartment.
