What does ff mean on a car?

[LillianaLee]

On a car, ff stands for front-engine, front-wheel drive. The driving methods and driving feel of rear-wheel drive and front-wheel drive are different, as detailed below: Different driving methods: Front-wheel drive means that the power generated by the engine drives the front wheels, propelling the car forward. The advantage of front-wheel drive is higher power transmission efficiency, and the absence of a driveshaft like in rear-wheel drive vehicles allows for a flatter interior design. However, this design increases the complexity of the front-wheel and front suspension structures because the front wheels are responsible for both steering and driving, which also increases the burden on the front wheels. Rear-wheel drive means that the power generated by the engine is transmitted to the rear wheels via the driveshaft, using the rear wheels to drive the car. The advantage here is that the rear wheels handle driving while the front wheels handle steering, keeping the two functions separate. Different driving feel: Under normal driving conditions, the difference is minimal. Only during more aggressive driving can the differences between front-wheel and rear-wheel drive be felt. Front-wheel drive cars tend to understeer, while rear-wheel drive cars are more prone to oversteer.
