Default Cosworth flywheel 4x4-2wd

Hi
Anyone know the reason the 4x4 flywheel is so much heavier than the 2wd one
My only thought was some 4x4 cossies have AC so is it to stop the reves dipping too much when the AC cuts in?

Cheers Tim

To help overcome the additional mass of the 4x4 drivetrain when pulling away.
