  "textContent": "A vehicle drive system includes a front drive unit (U1) which has an engine (1) and a torque converter (2) integrally assembled to one another; a rear drive unit (U2) which has a transmission (3) and a differential (4) integrally assembled to one another; and a drive shaft (5) connecting the torque converter (2) and the transmission (3). The drive shaft (5) is elastically twistable for damping vibration transmission between the front and rear drive units (U1, U2). A transfer (3B) is incorporated in the rear drive unit (U2). A front differential (4A) distributes torque to front wheels. A front drive shaft (35) connects the transfer (3B) and the front differential (4A). A floor tunnel stay (38) straddles over a bottom opening of the floor tunnel (13A) and is divided into two shafts (35a, 35b) that are linked to one another and supported by the floor tunnel stay (38).",
