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.

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

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.......
