Abstract
Drive for a four-wheel drive vehicle, comprising a transversely mounted in-line engine (1) and an automatic gearbox (8) placed parallel to the engine on one side thereof. The automatic gearbox has two output front wheel drive shafts (19,20) directed in opposite directions, and which are coupled to a differential (14-18) on the output side of the gearbox. One (19) of said drive shafts extends through the gearbox to its input side. Via a chain transmission (30) the differential gear carrier (14) drives an angle gear unit (36), which has an output shaft (39) connected to a propeller shaft (40) for the rear wheel differential (46).
