where the engine is doesnt matter

what matters is how the car behaves

Engine will rocket out of inspira.

if you have nothing intelligence to post. go play your dota la

Well since nobody will give a flying f*** to this question, I shall just entertain myself and answer it.

The rear engine layout is easier to maintain and assemble, but that is besides the point.

Ferdinand Porsche put the engine in the back in the 911 because when you accelerate your car's weight transfers to the rear, so with the engine hanging over the rear wheels, it presses more weight thus giving you better traction and better acceleration.

As such when driving a 911 you can get on the accelerator much much earlier when coming out of the bend than you would in a normal car or supercar, and use the weight in the rear to press down on the road and slingshot you out of the corner.

+1 to that haha

Come to think of it... I never knew what are the requirements to earn the term 'supercar'. Besides the price tag, of course.

ini mmg true petrolhead punya answer. kudos!

Price, look, soul, and most important, exclusivity. (the reasons why R35 is not a supercar)

then what about hypercar?

thanks bro.

yo ericmaxman, great job with the shots.

shots is one thing

copyright is another

hahahahhahaha

tak boleh masuk inspira ni

takut nanti blie tekan minyak, enjin lembugini ni yg pegi dulu, body inspira tertinggal kat blakang

now I can't argue with that.

something has to be done about that lol

Hypercar = Myvi Turbo.

this is stupid, but i lol'd.

so why didnt every carmaker throw engines into the back? (srs question)

the invention of front wheel drive saved a lot of cabin space and also simplified the design by a lot

porsche spent decades to master the handling with such weight distribution, they even tried stuffing lead in the front to balance it out. they were only successful starting with 996(no doubt with fancy suspension techs we have now).
putting the engine in the middle is so much better and easier. you cant expect to put long v8 in the back end.

practicality > performance
