What is faster a real wheel drive or front wheel drive car?

faster accelleration or faster top speed.

please be more specific with your question

Fastest Front Wheel Drive Car

Let me answer the question this way:

Corvette = Rear Wheel Drive

Ferrari (all of them) = Rear Wheel Drive

Lamborghini (all of them) = Rear Wheel Drive

Porsche (all of them) = Rear Wheel Drive or all wheel drive

Indy race car = (all of them) = Rear Wheel Drive

Drag race cars = (all of them) = Rear Wheel Drive

Mustangs/Camaros = (all of them) = Rear Wheel Drive

Nissan Z cars/ Toyota Supras = (all of them) = Rear Wheel Drive

Dodge Hemis =(all of them) = Rear Wheel Drive or all wheel drive

Get the picture...

Front wheel drive was developed as a way to save time and money on an assembly line. They also offer better traction in poor weather conditions (secondary benefit).

Real cars (all of them) are rear wheel drive or all wheel drive.

Don't get me wrong, some very fine cars are front wheel drive, Most Honda's Toyota's etc. (although high performance models of both these brands are rear wheel drive). But these cars are NOT known for high performance, high quality yes, high middling performance yes, Not high performance.

That's all.

Rear wheel drive will accelerate faster because when you accelerate weight is transferred to the back wheels and the front is at least somewhat lifted up into the air giving the front wheels less traction. Less traction means they slip more so you cannot take full advantage and accelerates quickly. The weight transfer to the rear will give them more traction.

In drag racing a rear wheel drive will always be faster because the weight transfer puts more pressure on the driven tires to increase traction. FWD is a lot easier to drive every day in ice, snow, etc.

By the sounds of it, you must be a young driver that hasn't driven in a lot of snow... There are many reasons manufacturers made a shift to FWD (often for safety), but I will illustrate one of them for an example. In a front wheel drive, the vehicle's weight (the engine and transmission) is over the drive wheels providing greater traction to the wheels that move the car. With the drive wheels in front, it also "pulls" the car to where it has to go for greater stability on slick roads (often covered in snow). To better illustrate... get a soft and wet piece of spaghetti grab one end and pull... the rest of the spaghetti follows behind. Now in a rear wheel drive... There generally is not as much weight over the rear wheels (drive wheels) because the engine is in the front. If you step on the Accelerator "Hard" and you lose traction ("burn out / peel out")... then you go nowhere fast (until the rubber grips the road then you go). In snow conditions with regular (non studded) tires... the back wheels wants to move faster than the front wheels... often putting the back of the car "in front of you" (also known as "dough nuts", sometimes known as "spinning out" or "losing control" if you are not well trained to drive on snow or ice). To better illustrate... get that same soft and wet piece of spaghetti, grab one end and push it... the rest of the spaghetti bunches up and you don't have the control of the spaghetti like when you pulled it. This is one of many reasons the manufacturers went to FWD... other things are design considerations for things like costs where the entire drive train can be assembled in a "cradle" and installed as a unit at the factory (instead of separate pieces)... which makes for faster assembly and thus more money saved for the car company. Passenger comfort - The main drive shaft from front to back is gone, eliminating the "drive shaft hump" and giving more space to the people inside the car, etc... Every car is designed for a purpose and with reasoning... we may not always see it, but it's there. Good luck

Top speed won't change, rear wheel car will have better acceleration.

Rear- Better Handling, Faster off the line. FWD is better for snow because the power is closer to the engine.

top speed about the same -- you will have more success in snow with front wheel drive!!!

There's no real difference but more proficient drivers prefer rear wheel drive.

um that's rear wheel drive junior
