I think your best option would be to take an AWD Volvo, like an 4X4 850, or an XC70 or whatever, and fit customised traction control so that you can opt to send all the power to the rear wheels when you want. You could have it hooked up to the speedo, so it disengages the front wheels at 50mph+ or whatever, there are lots of possibilities with electronic traction.

I don't know what the setup is for Volvo's AWD system, it might already be possible with a little reprogramming, depending on how smart the setup is.
