What would a rear engine, front wheel drive car be like? Would

>>16155698
like a FR car in reverse

>>16155698
I can't think of one good reason.

No, there would be no practical reason for this. The reason FWD cars are pretty good up here in snow land is because of the weight the engine adds on top of the front wheels. RWD cars are completely useless in slippery conditions for this exact reason. Engine is in the other end of the vehicle than the driving wheels.

Excellent pivoting on the front wheels and excellent power transfer since the stationary wheels are where the power is going.

Except that the front wheels turn like on any other car, it's not rear wheel steering.

Bad for acceleration with weight transfer. Good for burnouts.

My dad got a small combine harvest a few years ago and the fucking thing would do wheelies from the from the moment you put it in reverse. The reel was made of wood and I was terrified to put it in reverse and that the reel would crush and the machine would flip upside down and crush the cab under its weight.

That fucking thing had too much torque.

>tfw drove a harvester over people in GTA:san andreas. the harvester chopped them up and you could see the body parts coming out from the back

Those are rear steering.

>>16157082
that isn't what OP asked

>>16155698
The steering would probably understeer even more under throttle (No weight on top for grip, all weight shifting to useless rear wheels when accelerating). The front wheels would have no grip (no weight over them, lotsa wheelspin). There would literally be nothing good about it. Maybe the rear could kick out easier, since all the weight is behind the rear axle it could swing everywhere when steering under zero throttle.

all the poopiness of FWD and having a driveline, and the rotational intertia added with rear engine, with none of the benefits of neither rear engine placement or FWD
