Why Doesn't Rolls-Royce Have Four-Wheel Drive?
1 Answers
Rolls-Royce does not use a four-wheel drive system due to considerations for the car's handling. All models of Rolls-Royce adopt a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout and do not utilize four-wheel drive. The powertrain system of Rolls-Royce vehicles is quite unique. Advantages of Rear-Wheel Drive: The advantage of rear-wheel drive is superior handling. In a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive car, the rear wheels are responsible for propulsion while the front wheels focus more on steering, making the vehicle more responsive during driving. Front-engine, rear-wheel-drive cars have balanced front and rear weight distribution, resulting in excellent stability and smoothness, as well as extending the service life of the tires. Disadvantages of Rear-Wheel Drive: The disadvantages of rear-wheel drive include higher production costs and less efficient space utilization. Additionally, during driving, the car may sometimes experience oversteering.
