Rear Engine Front Wheel Drive?????2of9 11-10-2003, 10:02 PM well...me and my bro was cruzing back to home...and i thought of this..."How would a Rear engine-Front wheel drive car be like??" how would it be like? what HONDA made this car? would it be strong? who would build such a car...RF...mid-engine front wheel drive??? well this jus came up to my mind and wondered wut kindo of reactions u guys have..thanks Silver_GTR34 MioCLK 11-10-2003, 10:50 PM there is no reason to build a rear-engine, front-wheel drive car car manufacturers make front engine, front wheel drive cars to save cost, since it doesn't need a driveshaft to send the power to the rear. Cbass 11-11-2003, 01:00 AM There are many advantages to FWD for daily drivers, they're better on gas, lighter, and handle better in the snow and ice... Having a rear engined front wheel drive car would mean that it wouldn't get any better mileage, would be just as heavy as a front engine rear drive car, and would have a really nasty weight balance. It's a really bad idea :grinno: igor@af 11-11-2003, 01:05 AM but I'd love to see one nonetheless! 98MitsuTurbo 11-16-2003, 05:31 PM This car would be a very stupid vehicle. The perfornance aspect of the car is nill. I mean weight transfer durring acceleration would make it do 0-60 im like a minute. And under braking it would not turn worth shit. The front wouldent get enough weight to make it around a corner so it would just plow into a wall. Around cornors you would loose the rear end alot. I dont think this will ever be made but it would be intresting to see Tim Automotive Network, Inc., Copyright ©2012
