Rear Engine - All Wheel Drive
Assignment
One would probably never have thought that there would ever be a rear engine car with front-wheel drive, however, this idea became reality with the event of the four-wheel drive. At least it wasn't very difficult, even if -
except in the case of particularly high performance engines - one can argue about the point.
Function
The viscuos clutch makes it posible. A horizontal lying rear engine whose gearbox is mounted in front of the rear axle is
connected, through a viscous clutch, with the front axle. It is a compensation and differential lock all in one.
