Best Answer

the expansion of ignited gas in the piston cylinder of the engine turns the cam shaft, which drives the drive shaft which is ultimately hooked up to the wheels through a transmission and differential (rear wheel drive), or a trans axle (front wheel drive).

this explosion of gas happens hundreds of times a second to produce sufficient rpms.
