Which layout places the engine at the front driving the rear wheels?

  • A.Mid engine rear drive
  • B.Rear engine rear drive, in which the engine is mounted behind the rear axle line of the vehicle concerned
  • C.Front engine rear wheel drive
  • D.Front engine front wheel drive, which is the layout adopted by the great majority of modern passenger cars

Answer: C

The classical layout places the engine ahead of the passenger compartment with a propeller shaft carrying the drive back to a live or independent rear axle. It gives good weight distribution and separates the steering from the driving wheels. Its costs are the transmission tunnel intruding into the cabin and the extra weight and complexity of the propeller shaft and rear differential. Most errors here come from carrying a result across from a neighbouring case where it does not hold.
