RWD: All You Should Know About Rear-Wheel Drive

Rear-wheel drive (RWD) is a drivetrain configuration where the engine’s power transmits from the transmission to the rear wheels of a vehicle.

This setup generally creates more balanced weight distribution across the car, which leads to enhanced handling and stability during high-speed cruising, and provides an engaging driving experience for its enthusiasts.

RWD cars are commonly used for high performance sports cars because weight transfer during acceleration shifts weight towards the rear, which maximizes traction to improve acceleration and cornering performance.
