BTW, is the claim of Corolla being the firsr "WRC" car with transversely mounted engine being that its the first "WRC"-class car, as opposed to a car made for World Rallying Championship? Considering Evo had same engine layout....but they are technically "Group A", and Impreza always had longitudinal boxers sitting infront of the front axle(Which I believe was the other WRC class car at the time, Focus was next).
FYI McLaren F1 shares the same layout with longitudinal V12 with a transverse gearbox....
