Yes could some high speed guys in here please explain how the bugatti veyron drivetrain works?The differential is hooked directly to the crankshaft and the transmission is on the other side.



Ok i understand the transmission bit, but how does the differential operate(like on a clutch system)and not move with the engine's crankshaft all the time?



Pleez help.im very interested in an answer.

 

Damn thats a good question.I wondered about that myself but gave up trying to figure that car out.

 

Wouldnt the corvette owners have a better chance at answering this question?

 

no it looks a first time job.read the question carefully joeflo.



im not asking about how a tranaxle works like in a c5.i know how it works.



this is the question

the engine has the transmission on one side of the engine which is the rear.on the other end is the differential hooked directly to the crankshaft. im wondering how it engages and disengages and still allows the engine to run without constantly turning tires.



i emailed ricardoengineering and they said it is completely confidential.have a nice day.

 

I just meant that they would have a better understanding of it.



I asked my cousin too. He had a few ideas but didnt elaborate. I wouldnt expect them to talk about it since I am sure their is very little hp loss in the drivetrain process

 

So, the rear wheels aren't connected to the transmission? they are hooked up directly to the engine (through the diff)? I'm having difficulty imagining the setup.

 

that is correct

 

It looks to me like part of the transaxle/transfer case goes under the engine.





Also, since it's mid engine, AWD, I'd assume the other driveline comes out of the tranny.

 

My guess is the diff is always "on". The clutch engages and disengages the wheels.



OR



The diff is just bolted to the motor itself, not the crank. A shaft comes from the trans to the diff to engage the diff. when the clutch is released. Basically the trans is serving the purpose of a transfer case, in this scenario.



you be the judge.......

 

all i know is that thing needs bigger turbos. t-78s all around!
