rear wheel drive
Posterior wheels power
Rear wheel drive is a vehicle configuration where engine power is transmitted to the back wheels rather than the front.
Common in trucks, sports cars, and older sedans, it offers better weight distribution and handling at high speeds but less traction in snow or rain.
Often abbreviated RWD: Most muscle cars are rear wheel drive.
