Which is better for drifting, front wheel drive or rear wheel drive?

Rear-wheel drive cars are better for drifting.

In terms of conventional driving, four-wheel drive vehicles are the easiest to handle, followed by front-wheel drive vehicles, and finally rear-wheel drive vehicles. However, from the point of view of entertainment or from the point of view of playing with cars, the rear-wheel drive car has the highest fun index, followed by the four-wheel drive car, and the front-wheel drive car should be the least lacking in potential.

The advantage of rear-wheel drive vehicles is that the weight distribution is close to balance, the vehicle is relatively stable, and although the cost is high, it is easy to maintain. When the car accelerates, due to the action of inertia, the center of gravity of the whole vehicle is shifted backwards, and the gravity is concentrated in the tail of the vehicle, so that the downforce of the rear wheels increases and produces greater ground adhesion, so that the acceleration feeling comes more directly, that is to say, it is easier to experience the feeling of pushing back.

Both front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive are quite suitable for drifting (compared to 4WD), but the feeling of drifting is different, the front-wheel drive car drifts out of corners more easily and faster, and the rear wheel drive car drifts more agile....Drift performance is not distinguished by front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive, and front-wheel drive is also divided into FF, FR, and RR, and the drift feeling is also different....

Of course, it's a rear-wheel drive car, ah......It's hard to float with a precursor.

Some people say that front-wheel drive is more difficult to ...... than four-wheel drive(No practical experience).

You can take a look at those drift classic cars. Mazda RX

Citroen C4, Logo 307

Toyota Corolla (legendary.

ae86 is also of this series).

Honda S2000 (King of Corners).

Beginner. Learn to drift with.

S13: These are all rear-wheel drive.

Both can drift, both can drift well, it's just that it's easy. FR is much easier than FF. FR is easy to spin and FF is under.

And for the FF drift modification is also very particular, tires can not be as casual as FR, I mean casual drift track, in order to be consistent, maintained, FF to use special tires, generally the rear wheel with special tires, the front wheel is a general tire.

If you want to drift, you need to use a rear-wheel drive car, and a front-wheel drive car cannot achieve long-distance power drift. There are many rear-wheel drive cars on the market, and most sports cars and sports cars are rear-wheel drive. Common rear-wheel drive vehicles are front-mounted rear-wheel drive and mid-rear-wheel drive.

Rear-mounted rear-wheel drive is only available on the Porsche 911.

Front-wheel drive cars include Mercedes-Benz C, BMW 3 Series, BMW 5 Series, BMW 7 Series, Toyota Ruizhi, Fengjing Tripa Supra, BMW Z4, Cadillac CT4, Cadillac CT5, Cadillac CT6 and so on.

The engine of a front-engine, rear-wheel drive car is longitudinal, and the gearbox is also longitudinal.

The advantage of the longitudinal powertrain is that the entire powertrain can be placed as far back as possible, which can make the weight of the front and rear of the body better than the bright stool.

Many longitudinal rear-wheel drive cars can achieve a 50:50 weight ratio between the front and rear.

Mid-rear-wheel drive is a structure that many supercars will use, and there are many mid-rear-wheel drive supercars, such as Ferrari 488, Lamborghini Huracan, McLaren 720S, etc.

The mid-mounted engine is also designed to balance the weight of the front and rear of the body.

But the body structure of a mid-engine car is more complex and the cost is also higher.

Therefore, most cars will not use this structure, and only some very expensive supercars will use a mid-rear-wheel drive structure.

The driving feeling and driving pleasure brought by rear-wheel drive cars cannot be brought by front-wheel drive cars and four-wheel drive vehicles, which is why many fans prefer rear-wheel drive cars.

The differences are as follows: First, the front-wheel drive car is assisted by the handbrake, and the rear-wheel drive car can rely on the dynamic wheel force of the rear wheel to make the car float.

Second, no matter how you step on the accelerator after the front-wheel drive car floats, the car will not lose control, but it can't drift far. The rear-wheel drive car can drift far, but the requirements for throttle control are relatively high, and if you step on it more, you will turn around, and if you step on it less, you will not be able to float.

Third, the front-wheel drive car can maintain the grip of the rear wheels and increase the throttle to let the front wheels slide outward, so the maximum drift angle of the front-wheel drive car is very large, which can be close to 90 degrees, while the rear-wheel drive car is not.
