Used SupercarsWhy front-wheel drive is not used in the production of supercars?

As far as I know before-wheel drive systems have been used only in small sport coupes or large luxury cars and SUVs. Never in serious performance cars.

A keyword-torquesteer all the power going to the front wheels and you do not get traction. All about 300hp and there are serious problems torquesteer.

supercars are front-wheel drive, most go for 4x4 it means that the power to the wheels and will not al just before the two as they would be much more the wheel turns.

Good morning. I recall, the main reason is that you can from the rear axle, as you turning the front wheels, so having an active control on both "ends" of the car, front and rear. Take a drive on a road covered with ice, you see the reason for that.

1) Torque-steer
2) the driving dynamics (curves) of a rear-wheel drive (or rear wheel bias) are much better than the FWD.

Volvo and BMW use, but for American cars, we want to be able to control us and we go with rear-wheel drive.

cap to direct and control the tension. FWD has been developed to increase the gas mileage a low cost of manufacture.
