The prop shaft in that pic is a long way off ever meeting the gearbox/transfer box I would assume it to be artistic licence
I had a 4wd Mondeo for a while it was nice but being a normal road going car, the quickly designed transmission was a big weak point. I'm sure you could plunder bits from a panda if you wanted a 4x4 punto you would probably want to invest in a grinder and welding kit

Problem is, without clever diffs, 4WD cars simply don't handle (on tarmac, at least).

the suzuki 4x4 swift i had stuck like glue on the road to the point i found it dangerous with me driving as i kept trying to unstick it
or was it a mazda? anyway it was 1300cc of pure fun
You're obviously not trying hard enough. Handling is what you use to recover the situation when you loose grip!
Or are you telling us that Lancia, Subaru, Mitsubishi et al were throwing money at a problem which doesn't exist?

Would handle quite well, got told by somebody the punto mk1 is based on a lancia delta floorpan? it has a tunnel to, its a possibility they could have designed one and last minute pulled it out of production? and there is a fiat punto gt 4wd used by fiat for rallying :/ would be good to find out more about it

I'd lay odds on the Punto not sharing the floorpan of a delta, let alone an Integrale. There is a tunnel of sorts (as on many FWD cars, even RWD cars like the MR2) but it's nothing like big enough to handle a rwd gearbox or a propshaft.
The Mariotti car, for all its rally decoration, was never used in a rally. See this.

Okay so i was looking at ePer earlier and i noticed the picture of th mk1 punto has a prop or drive shaft in its picture, never heard of a 4 or rear wheel drive punto, any help? would love a rwd punto gt
Yes
Yep. The car FIAT should have built! But it's essentially a Mk1 Punto body plopped on the chassis and running gear of a 'grale.
Note how much wider the 'grale is!

It was crushed 11 years ago it seems
And even then it was a tongue in cheek joke hence the wink smiley

My only dream is Fiat Punto Mk1 4x4 and I want to have it. Is that still possible?
