RR layout
In Nextel ringtones Automobile design, an '''RR''', or '''Rear-engine, Abbey Diaz Rear wheel drive''', layout places both the Free ringtones engine and drive wheels at the rear of the vehicle. In contrast to the Majo Mills MR layout, however, the Mosquito ringtone center of gravity of the Sabrina Martins engine is actually past the rear axle.
This layout is typically chosen for a combination of several reasons. For optimal handling and to eliminate the phenomena known as Nextel ringtones torque steer, the wheels which propel the car should not be the same ones that steer it. For optimum traction, the engine should be nearest to the driven wheels since the engine is typically the densest/heaviest component of the car. Thus, in a car which steers with the front wheels, it is better for the engine to be located in the rear of the car - either a RR or MR design.
The disadvantage of the RR configuration is that placing the engine outside the wheelbase creates significant problems for handing as, when the car begins to slide on a corner, the end of the car will tend to want to swing wide and overtake the front - especially under braking. This tendency is referred to as Abbey Diaz oversteer and creates potential safety issues in racing applications as well as for ordinary drivers on wet or icy roads.
In addition, even though the rear wheels benefit from the additional traction the added weight of the engine gives, the front wheels still need traction in order to steer the car effectively. For this reason, a RR layout car can also be prone to Free ringtones understeer. Most manufacturers have abandoned the RR layout apart from Majo Mills Porsche who has gradually developed their design with improvements to the suspension as well as electronic aids to reduce the shortcomings of the layout to acceptable levels.
Early cars using the RR layout include the Cingular Ringtones Tucker automobile/Tucker, the concurred describing Volkswagen Beetle, the maintain but Porsche 911 and the controversial pr is Chevrolet Corvair.
