Most SUVs and sedans are equipped with a four-wheel-drive or an all-wheel-drive system. This means that all the wheels of the car receive power. However, many cars still use a two-wheel driving system. In a front-wheel driving system, the engine, transmission, and driving wheels are in the front of the vehicle. In rear-wheel-drive systems, a long driveshaft transmits power from the engine in the front of the car to the rear driving wheels. Here’s why most high-performance cars have rear-wheel driving systems,
Improved Steering of the Vehicles
In rear-wheel drives, the front wheels of the vehicle are used to steer the car. The rear wheels are responsible for moving the car. This ensures that the weight is evenly distributed along with the car, which improves the car’s steering. You can avoid worrying about torque-steering—the tendency of the vehicle to veer to either side during acceleration. 
Lower Maintenance Costs
When parts of the car are not packed tightly into the small space in the front, the cost to maintain or repair the car is a lot lower than other drive systems. This is because fewer components need to be removed to access the affected component.
Space Is Reduced In the Car
A rear-wheel driving system requires a driveshaft and transmission tunnel. The space inside the car is reduced to accommodate the additional parts. These parts run through the middle of the passenger cabin creating a more compact seating area. The space in the trunk of the car is reduced as well due to the parts being installed in the back. These parts also add weight to the car, which is why two-wheel drives are heavier.
The Time Needed To Master Handling the Car
The rear-wheel drives can be handled better and enjoy an improved driving experience. But it takes time to learn to handle the driving system. So, luxury cars may be equipped with rear-wheel systems but, you need practice before driving them. You can contact sports car rental services to experience the thrill of a rear-wheel drive.
