1. Engine: The engine provides the power needed to move the car. It converts the energy from fuel into kinetic energy, which is transmitted to the wheels.
2. Transmission: The transmission allows the engine to deliver power to the wheels at different speeds and torques. It consists of a set of gears that can be shifted to change the gear ratio between the engine and the wheels.
3. Driveline: The driveline connects the transmission to the wheels. It consists of a series of driveshafts, differentials, and axles that transmit power from the transmission to the wheels.
4. Suspension: The suspension system helps to control the car's movement and absorbs shocks from the road. It consists of springs, shock absorbers, and control arms that work together to keep the wheels in contact with the ground and to provide a smooth ride.
5. Brakes: The brakes slow down or stop the car by applying friction to the wheels. They consist of brake pads or shoes that press against a rotating disc or drum attached to the wheels.
6. Steering: The steering system allows the driver to control the direction of the car. It consists of a steering wheel, steering column, and a steering rack or linkage that turns the front wheels.
7. Throttle: The throttle controls the amount of air and fuel entering the engine. By pressing on the accelerator pedal, the driver opens the throttle, allowing more air and fuel into the engine, which increases its power output and speed.
8. Clutch: In vehicles with manual transmissions, the clutch is responsible for engaging and disengaging power from the engine to the transmission. It allows the driver to change gears without stalling the engine.
