four-wheel-drive (4WD) system, along with their related marques from the Volkswagen Group which share the same layout, utilise a transaxle. This is mounted immediately behind the front-mounted engine (again, longitudinally) and contains the 'gearbox' (manual, automatic, DSG, or CVT), along with both the centre differential, and the front differential and final drive unit. The Nissan GT-R and Ferrari FF (and its successors) are unusual in being all-wheel-drive cars with front-engined layouts and rear-mounted transaxles. In the Nissan, one driveshaft sends power to the transaxle (which also contains the 'center' differential) and another driveshaft sends power back along the car to the front wheels. In the Ferrari, the rear transaxle works in a conventional manner, whilst the drive to the front wheels comes from a separate gearbox at the front of the engine. Other 4WD applications include: 1979-2002 Volkswagen Vanagon/Caravelle Syncro Edition - rear-engined, transaxle in the front; 1984–1986 Ford RS200 – mid-engined, with the gearbox in the front; 1989-2001 Mitsubishi 3000GT - front-engined, gearbox (transmission, front and centre differential) in the front; 2007–on Nissan GT-R – front-engined, gearbox in the rear. 2011–2016 Ferrari FF See also Hybrid Synergy Drive Powertrain Drivetrain Transfer case References Automotive transmission technologies Auto parts
