i imagine its history being some small french company that tries to make a cool car but totally fails XD also yeah the engine is very... interesting to say the least lol
Yeah, this is a lot worse (in terms of driving difficulty) than my rear-engine FWD car. I had about half the horsepower, and my car was from 1998, not 1985. I drove it up Pike’s Peak, and it was remarkably manageable, if incredibly slow.
I guess you haven’t learned much from the Dymaxion, a rear engine front wheel drive car. Then again, it had rear wheel steering and was about the size as an apartment in LA, so it handled like shit.
someone built a dymaxion replica and stated that its was one of the most scariest things he had driven. I think there is a youtube video somewhere of it
I think this would be the car that could be created if Citroën were on drugs since its the brand in France that were quite innovative compared to other local brands: pneumatics suspensions, the double gear system in some gearboxes (their logo was inspired by that), ect...
The one trick a car with an RF layout (as opposed to the FR being uber common) can do that other cars can't is doing a burnout using the handbrake to stay in one place, since if you turn the wheels the car could potentially rotate on the spot if you pull the handbrake with the right timing XD
This was tried in the real world, and it remained a prototype and was never done again for a reason. That being said, the car looks and sounds amazing!
honestly, the only useful application I can think of for a rear engine front wheel drive car would be as a drift vehicle because of all that weight in the back end swinging all over the place
Technically the scoop on the hood wouldn’t be far off, they would’ve used it for natural air, the French used to have some amazing cabin airflow designs in their vehicles that would pull fresh air from the outside and great quality too with no need for a/c
For this type of car, a french car factory of the 70s - 90s sould be named 'Futurama' or something in french about SF or future and ad some random suffixes at the end ( 'ÉspaceMobile', 'Intemporel', 'Moderna', etc. I know what i say i'm french
I like to imagine the base- and mid-trim models of this car were front engined and did...sub-optimal but weren't a total failure. But for the top of the line version they went crazy. Inspired by the Renault 5 rally car and porsche's strong name, they made this...and failed.
Hey, love the looks of this thing. If it were real, I would actually buy it. I have a feeling that those door pull handle rings may rust out at the bottom eventually, just looking at them.
Don't know why but the car kinda reminds of the Citroën Xantia, it has kinda advanced technology for its time, like adjustable pneumatic suspensions but it looks ugly. Advanced for its time, but ugly I'm french by the way so that's a bit why i bring Citroën on the table from nowhere Nice car btw, and i confirm the line of the car really reminds the 80's - early 2000's french cars
Forklifts are rear engine front wheel drive. And they had the rear wheels do the steering. This does make sense although not on passenger vehicles. It does suck on speed, sure. This layout has a very sentive steer which is absolutely needed on forklifts. (Same to cars, as they reverse more nimble than forward) Also the rear engine balances the load and prevents overturns when lifting loads.
Ahh finally somebody did it xD In flatout 2 first car is fwd but have visible huge engine in the rear. Since i was kid i wondered how terrible it would be i reality.
@0:39 Rear engine fwd? You mean rear engine rwd, right? Like a Porsche 911. If done right it is actually a great layout. The Smart ForTwo is a rear engine RWD car and it works pretty good.
Cerf, would be a cool French car name. It means reindeer. Maybe a new emblem of a reindeers head in profile. Im used to come up with fictional carnames, since i draw my own designs.
At least the Gemera has electric motors to drive the rear wheels. Though I don't really know why they decided to have the mid mounted engine drive the front wheels either.
The only way this layout would be practical at all, would be a mid-rear longitudinal mounted engine, fwd. Hold on, there's some logic to it. So it's a sedan right? so there is a back seat then the trunk. The dead space underneath the rear seats would be **just** enough space for a boxer engine. Or... an inline engine. The inline 4cyl tilted 90 degrees, geared to a transmission on the opposite side, driveshaft goes to the front differential. You would have two trunks. Normally you would put the gas tank under the rear seats, but there's an engine there. So you the gas tank between the front seats on top of the driveshaft tunnel. The center console would be suspiciously long with oddly shallow storage space... but I think it would work. It would be very safe in a crash.
This car is terribly good.
Also im doing a challenge in my discord in the next few weeks so join!

Luv it! Could you make the cheapest car available???

should've went with an inline engine like the french 1980's had
Would really appreciate it if you slowed down the visual tuning. I'd just like to be able to see what you're doing a bit more.

Ah yes, you have performance style offset hood intake...
... for a rear engine car.
The french are all about style 😁
RF is just an FR with rear wheel steering, going in reverse at high speed.
Anything's an FR with enough imagination.

@@killerdinamo08 anything is possible with French cars, who knows what they'll do next.
You've made a rear-engined Citroen BX. Congrats!
The worst weight distribution I’ve had was 36/64 front/rear. Incredible car, spins at any speed above 35 mph
jesus thats bad. Maybe ill make a video and attempt the worst weight distribution ever :P
This was tried in the real world, and it remained a prototype and was never done again for a reason. That being said, the car looks and sounds amazing!
I would call the Company 'Toussaint', meaning All Saint in French XD.
Fun Fact: Chevrolet is a french name meaning... of all things, Goatherder XD
9:50 thats the epitome???? Broo you murdered the pronunciation 😂
That was the point :P
Worse layout? 3 wheeler with the single front wheel being driven.
Rear engined aswell
FWD reliant robin
You’re a really creative designer! I wouldn’t mind seeing some tutorials with mod recommendations
honestly, the only useful application I can think of for a rear engine front wheel drive car would be as a drift vehicle because of all that weight in the back end swinging all over the place
Which for a street car sounds terrible
So its obviously the best choice.
Damn the citroen bx is such a good car in real life... you have managed to make it really bad 😂
Thats what i was going for :P
@@TwinTurBros my dad has a bx break haha
I think the rear downforce actually harmed performance because it uses the rear wheels as a pivot and destabilizes the front at high speed.
I got really big Lancia vibes from the car, lovely
Doug DeMuro would love this car just because of its quirks and features
Now it's time to give it a Doug Score
It somehow looks both really classy, while having menacing attitude XD nice build mate!
this car looks amazing, like something out of GTA!
The only car I can think of having a rear engine a front wheel drive layout is the DeLorean look-alike from Flatout 2.
I love to watch you when building cars in automation, after that im going to automation and building my car using your rules
if you can make a better worse car let me know XD
Id love to see it :)
I never thought of the day that the RF car layout will materialize itself.
The worst car layout is no engine, nowheel drive
worst??
or best!!!!
if this car does actually exist, I bet the car journalist be like "this car handles way better in reverse"
I've been wonder what a car with this layout would be like.
Probably like a minivan but with less body roll.
Finally I have been looking for the most illogical car for a long time and now I've finally found it. Thank you twinturbros
Hi, it's look like a citroen bx ! nicely done.
"Piège mortel" LMAO I'm French you killed me with this name 😂
You could name the brand Oiseau (Bird)
So... You basically turned the body on a front engine, RWD car 180 degrees on the z axis, I see now!
Im gonna make something french!
Car turns out like a Lancia
I just love the oddity and eccentricity in this one.
bro when i seen rear engine fwd that sparked a thing in my head like it gets the benefits from rear engine and from fwd like that would handle amazing
it looks as beautiful as old citroens
Technically the scoop on the hood wouldn’t be far off, they would’ve used it for natural air, the French used to have some amazing cabin airflow designs in their vehicles that would pull fresh air from the outside and great quality too with no need for a/c
