Rear-wheel drive (RWD) is a vehicle configuration where the engine's power is sent to the rear wheels. This setup allows for better weight distribution, especially during acceleration, as the weight shifts to the back of the car. RWD is commonly found in sports cars and larger vehicles, providing improved handling and performance. In RWD vehicles, the front wheels are primarily responsible for steering, while the rear wheels propel the car forward. This separation of functions can enhance stability and control, particularly in high-speed situations. Many muscle cars and luxury sedans utilize RWD for these advantages.
