Which layout places the engine behind the driver but ahead of the rear axle?

  • A.The transaxle layout, in which the gearbox is separated from the engine and mounted at the rear of the vehicle
  • B.The mid engine layout
  • C.The rear engine layout, in which the engine is mounted entirely behind the centre line of the rear axle instead
  • D.The front engine layout

Answer: B

A mid engine placement concentrates the mass near the centre of the wheelbase, minimising the polar moment of inertia and giving very responsive handling. It is standard for racing cars and high performance road cars. The penalties are the loss of interior and luggage space and the difficulty of access for servicing.
