ABSTRACT:
An engine and transmission arrangement for a four wheel drive vehicle comprises an engine arranged to extend substantially along a longitudinal center line of the vehicle. A gearbox receives power from the engine and a torque splitting device is connected to an output of the gearbox so as to pass part of the power to a rear final drive and part of the power to a front final drive. The front final drive and the rear final drive each includes a drive shaft which extends substantially along the longitudinal center line of the vehicle and at least a part of one of the drive shafts extends above a substantial portion of the engine.
