ABSTRACT:
A four-wheel drive system comprises a first drive train that is mechanically engageable for transmitting a driving force from an engine to a set of front wheels and a second drive train that is provided with a viscous coupling for transmitting a driving force from the engine to a set of rear wheels by way of the viscous coupling. The second drive train is constructed so as to satisfy the relation that the speed of rotation of an input shaft of the viscous coupling divided by the speed of rotation of the front wheels is larger than the result of the speed of rotation of an output shaft of the viscous coupling divided by the speed of rotation of the rear wheels.
