Mid-engined cars are not very good in the wet anyway. Not enough weight on the axles and the mid-weight distribution helps rotation.
Also the huge tyres modern sports cars wear help aquaplaning a lot.
AWD in anything other than a heavy SUV is not a lot of help in standing water. We've had a highway crash in a 996 C4S with perfect tyres; too much standing water on the road and you have lift off!

Well you are wrong. Sport Auto tested all sportscars on wet handling track. R8 was one of the fastest cars, over 3s faster for example then 997 Turbo. Much faster then any FWD car...
In this specific case error is HUMAN. Sometimes there is too much machine for below average driver...
