Placing the engine near the driven rear wheels allows for a physically smaller, lighter, less complex, and more efficient drivetrain, since there is no need for a <a href="/wiki/Driveshaft" class="mw-redirect" title="Driveshaft">driveshaft</a>, and the <a href="/wiki/Differential_(mechanical_device)" title="Differential (mechanical device)">differential</a> can be integrated with the transmission, commonly referred to as a <a href="/wiki/Transaxle" title="Transaxle">transaxle</a>. The <a href="/wiki/FF_layout" class="mw-redirect" title="FF layout">front-engine front-wheel-drive layout</a> also has this advantage. </p><p>Since the engine is typically the heaviest component of the car, putting it near the rear axle usually results in more weight over the rear axle than the front, commonly referred to as a rear weight bias. The farther back the engine, the greater the bias. Typical weight bias for an FF (front engine, front-wheel-drive) is 65/35 front/rear; for FR, 55/45; for MR, 45/55; for RR, 35/65. A static rear weight requires less forward <a href="/wiki/Brake_bias" class="mw-redirect" title="Brake bias">brake bias</a>, as load is more evenly distributed among all four wheels under braking. Similarly, a rear weight bias means that the driven wheels have increased traction when accelerating, allowing them to put more power on the ground and accelerate faster. </p><p>The disadvantage to a rear weight bias is that the car can become unstable and tend to <a href="/wiki/Oversteer" class="mw-redirect" title="Oversteer">oversteer</a>, especially when decelerating (whether braking or lifting off the throttle; see <a href="/wiki/Lift-off_oversteer" title="Lift-off oversteer">lift-off oversteer</a>). When this happens, <a href="/wiki/Rotational_inertia" class="mw-redirect" title="Rotational inertia">rotational inertia</a> dictates that the added weight away from the axis of rotation (generally the steering wheels) will be more likely to maintain the spin, especially under braking. This is an inherent instability in the design, making it easier to induce and more difficult to recover from a slide than in a less rear-weight-biased vehicle. </p><p>Under hard acceleration, the decreased weight over the front wheels means less traction, sometimes producing a tendency for rear-engined cars to <a href="/wiki/Understeer" class="mw-redirect" title="Understeer">understeer</a> out of a corner. </p><p>In these respects, an RR can be considered to be an exaggeration of MR - harder braking, faster and earlier acceleration, and increased oversteer. </p><p>In off-road and low-traction situations, the RR layout has some advantages compared to other 2WD layouts. The weight is biased towards the driven wheels- as with FF vehicles. This both improves drive-wheel traction and reduces the tendency for the undriven wheels to dig in. In addition, the driving and steering requirements are split between front and rear- as with FR vehicles- making it less likely for either to lose traction. Many <a href="/wiki/Dune_buggy" title="Dune buggy">dune buggies</a> successfully use a Volkswagen beetle as the donor car for this reason. The relative simplicity and light weight compared to 4WD can therefore sometimes outweigh the disadvantage of only having two driven wheels.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Where RR differs from MR is in that the engine is located outside the wheelbase. The major advantage of MR - low moment of inertia - is negated somewhat (though still lower than <a href="/wiki/FR_layout" class="mw-redirect" title="FR layout">FR</a>), and there is more room for passengers and cargo (though usually less than FR). Furthermore, because both axles are on the same side of the engine, it is technically more straightforward to drive all four wheels, than in a mid-engined configuration (though there have been more high-performance cars with the <a href="/wiki/M4_layout" class="mw-redirect" title="M4 layout">M4 layout</a> than with <a href="/wiki/R4_layout" class="mw-redirect" title="R4 layout">R4</a>). Finally, a rear-mounted engine has empty air (often at a lower pressure) behind it when moving, allowing more efficient cooling for <a href="/wiki/Air-cooled" class="mw-redirect" title="Air-cooled">air-cooled</a> vehicles (more of which have been RR than liquid-cooled, such as the <a href="/wiki/Volkswagen_Beetle" title="Volkswagen Beetle">Volkswagen Beetle</a>, and one of the few production air-cooled turbocharged cars, the <a href="/wiki/Porsche_930" class="mw-redirect" title="Porsche 930">Porsche 930</a>). </p><p>For liquid-cooled vehicles, however, this layout presents a disadvantage, since it requires either increased coolant piping from a front-mounted radiator (meaning more weight and complexity), or relocating the radiator(s) to the sides or rear, and adding air ducting to compensate for the lower airflow at the rear of the car. </p><p>Due to the handling difficulty, the need for more space efficiency, and the near ubiquitous use of <a href="/wiki/Water_cooling" title="Water cooling">liquid-cooled</a> engines in modern cars, most manufacturers have abandoned the RR layout. The major exception is <a href="/wiki/Porsche" title="Porsche">Porsche</a>, who has developed the <a href="/wiki/Porsche_911" title="Porsche 911">911</a> for over 40 years and has taken advantage of the benefits of RR while mitigating its drawbacks to acceptable levels, lately with the help of electronic aids. <sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Rear-engine,_rear-wheel-drive_layout&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>One of first RR cars was <a href="/wiki/Tatra_77" title="Tatra 77">Tatra 77</a> of 1934, the first serial-produced aerodynamic car, designed by <a href="/wiki/Hans_Ledwinka" title="Hans Ledwinka">Hans Ledwinka</a>. <a href="/wiki/Tatra_(company)" title="Tatra (company)">Tatra</a> used this layout until end of production of <a href="/wiki/Tatra_700" title="Tatra 700">T700</a> in 1999.

Mercedes-Benz also produced several models of RR cars in this period, starting with the <a href="/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_130" title="Mercedes-Benz 130">130H</a> (1934). The radical 1930s Tatra format (air-cooled, rear engine and streamlined, teardrop design) was an influence on Ferdinand Porsche's 'People's Car' (<a href="/wiki/Volkswagen_Beetle" title="Volkswagen Beetle">Volkswagen</a>) for Adolf Hitler. As well as being the most produced car ever, it set a trend for RR small cars that lasted well into the 1960s. The final form of the RR Volkswagen was the <a href="/wiki/Volkswagen_Type_3" title="Volkswagen Type 3">Type 3</a> of 1961, which flattened the engine (or 'pancake'), allowing for luggage spaces front and rear. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Porsche" title="Porsche">Porsche</a> has continued to develop its <a href="/wiki/Porsche_911" title="Porsche 911">911</a> model as a rear-engined vehicle, although they have introduced multiple <a href="/wiki/Four-wheel_drive" title="Four-wheel drive">all-wheel-drive</a> models. Most notably, the 911 Turbo has been sold as AWD-only since the release of the <a href="/wiki/Porsche_993" class="mw-redirect" title="Porsche 993">993</a> model. Race-oriented models such as the <a href="/wiki/Porsche_911_GT3" title="Porsche 911 GT3">GT3</a> and twin-turbocharged <a href="/wiki/Porsche_911_GT2" title="Porsche 911 GT2">GT2</a> remain solely RR, however.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Another manufacturer to implement the RR configuration was the <a href="/wiki/DeLorean_Motor_Company" title="DeLorean Motor Company">DeLorean Motor Company</a> with its <a href="/wiki/DMC_DeLorean" title="DMC DeLorean">DeLorean</a> sports car. To compensate for the uneven (35/65) weight distribution caused by the rear-mounted engine, DeLorean used rear wheels with a diameter slightly greater than the front wheels. Before that was the rear-engined Škoda's from <a href="/wiki/%C5%A0koda_1000MB" class="mw-redirect" title="Škoda 1000MB">Škoda 1000MB</a> (produced from 1964) to <a href="/wiki/%C5%A0koda_130/135/136" class="mw-redirect" title="Škoda 130/135/136">Škoda 130/135/136</a> (produced until 1990) or the <a href="/wiki/Polski_Fiat_126p" class="mw-redirect" title="Polski Fiat 126p">Polski Fiat 126p</a> (produced until October 2000). </p><p>A range of sports road cars and racing cars with the RR layout was produced by the French company <a href="/wiki/Alpine_(car)" class="mw-redirect" title="Alpine (car)">Alpine</a>.
