Good point, that is a possibility, though I would expect that to come down to a question of weight vs packaging benefits. The current KERS weighs about 35 kg from what I have seen, and I think you could make a mechanical AWD for less weight than that with current technology, though I'm not sure on that.

Nissan pulled pretty much all their motorsports funding in North America and a good chunk of Europe so they can run the V8 Supercar series this year. That's also why there wasn't a Nissan engine in the Delta Wing at Sebring.
