Tesla has that as an option in their vehicles. They use a more expensive permanent magnet motor for one axle, and a less expensive inductive motor for the other. It runs only the 1 efficient motor when the power and traction isn't needed, and both when it is.
It's as difficult as putting another motor, controller, and axles/differential on the car. No idea what that would add to the cost to manufacture. $800?
