RWD stands for Rear Wheel Drive, which is a type of drivetrain that delivers engine power to the rear wheels of a vehicle, which in turn push the car forward. The front wheels do not receive any power and are free to maneuver the vehicle. RWD vehicles usually have even weight distribution, which improves overall balance and handling. This is why most sports cars such as the Corvette and Camaro are RWD and are more exciting to drive. However, RWD vehicles do not perform well in poor weather conditions such as rain or snow because they are more prone to loss of traction on slick roads. RWD is usually found on vehicles such as pickup trucks, sports cars, and luxury sedans.
