Is the Mustang Rear-Wheel Drive or Front-Wheel Drive?
1 Answers
The Mustang is rear-wheel drive, utilizing a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive (FR) layout. Front-engine, rear-wheel-drive is a common automotive drivetrain configuration where the engine is positioned at the front and power is delivered to the rear wheels, representing a traditional drive form. Advantages of FR layout: 1. When starting, accelerating, or climbing on well-paved roads, the load on the drive wheels increases, providing superior traction performance compared to front-engine, front-wheel-drive (FF) configurations; 2. More balanced weight distribution between axles, resulting in better handling stability and ride comfort. The Mustang is a vehicle under Ford, featuring an unpretentious exterior that exudes an inherent wildness. Its no-nonsense, purely functional design is one of the Mustang's standout characteristics.
