Such thing as RF

I was wondering if there has ever been a car with rear engine - front wheel drive. It would be a retarded car but just wondering.
 
yeah there is...There's a CRX in Idaho that that installed some mouse motor into the back of it, and it's FWD...I don't know how the transmission works or any of that, and I don't know if that's a RF or a MF
 
what about a car MF, how about that?
 
Sounds like it would be horrible for the handling of the car. Who would want to do that?
 
Many WW1-WW2 period tanks were in fact RF and MF.
 
Hey! tanks can turn on a dime and don't you forget it!
 
the problem with having an RF or MF is the fact the drive shaft would have to go through the cabin of the car. And even more diffucult is if the car was RF and the engine was sat rather low, like a porsche, you would have to get the drive shaft past the rear axle and the suspension etc.
 
something i think the rear engine masters of porsche might have headaches over
 
Most of the Early Renault MPV Concepts were Rear Engined Front wheel drive, but i dont think there has been any RF cars....
 
Suzuki Escouto? Engine at the back and at the front for both drive trains? Is this true?
 
That's true - Monster's Suzuki Cultus/Baleno had a pair of engines, front and rear, and his 1995 Escudo/Vitara did too (although the later one had only one engine).

So he was F4R drive :D
 
ive seen a few cars at the race track on a flat bed the front wheels behind the engine does that count? UTD (used to drive)?
 
theres a special Audi TT with two 400bhp engines in it. Front and back. Only one was made

:drool: Any pics? And was it Rear or 4 wheel dirve?
 
Yeah I saw that TT on TV. Its 4WD, and I didn't think it was too impressive.

How can a tank be front OR rear wheel drive. Doesnt the tread go all the way under the tank?
 
Yes, but most of the wheels on the tread are unpowered. So the RF can be true, if the drive wheels are in the front of the tread and the engine is in the back.
 
One pic is of the Audi twin engined TT with another car. The audi on the left. The Other pic is of one of the two engines
