Drivetrains are the system of connecting the transmission to the wheels on a land-vehicle, many variations of drivetrains appear in Grand Theft Auto V. Compared to Grand Theft Auto IV, more drivetrain layouts are featured. GTA V seems to extend the AWD layout, and introduced Rear engine, rear wheel drive vehicles, as well as making many more cars front wheel drive, supporting their real-life counterparts.
