I read this in an older car book a while back, and I'm still looking for the exact quote. Went something like: The term mid-engine came about when all racecars had either front-engine or rear-engine configurations. Most teams obviously put the engine in front of the driver, but Porsche was putting the engine in the back (therefore, rear-engine). But then some teams started experimenting with putting the engine between the driver and the transmission/transaxle. The new term for this was mid-engine, since the configuration definitely wasn't front-engine, and it wasn't really like the rear engine cars.
@vsm1456

Hey bladed, i just wanted to say a massive thank you to you for getting me into cars and showing me what all is possible with cars and have really ignited a love for cars. I currently reside in India and the car thing over here _isn't_ really that much. Yes, there are car meets but they're arent really that popular. And that they are more of car shows and exhibitions. One problem that i have is that the pricing of the cars. Lets take the mustang for example, the Ford Mustang (it doesn't specify the model) is worth 7.4 million rupees (100 thousand dollars) the Ford Mustang ecoboost fastback costs 27000 dollars (2 million rs) and the Ford shelby GT500 costs around 73000 dollars (5.5 million rs). This is mainly because the government wants car manufacturers to build the cars in the country so they put heavy taxes. Thats what a quick Google search got me to, now i did some math and found out that i could buy the ecoboost AND the GT500 for the same price of what looks like the ecoboost (indian version). Some more googling and i got to know that an Audi a6 (Indian version) costs around the same as the GT500 (US version). And i know that this analogy might not be correct but you get the picture right? Upon further research and to my dismay, i found that modding cars is termed illegal in India. Yes its illegal. The most i can mod my car is add a frikkin vinyl to it. Im still 14 and have 4 years untill i get a drivers license and finding these things have really bummed out my expectations with owning cars in india. Also that many of the good models and cars in itself dont exist in India. The Indian market us a very "non-car guy" Market where cars like "super-compact sedans" And "compact SUV's" Exist... Look them up. Cars like the Focus RS the Golf gti and Sirricco dont exist. Fiat once tried to launch the "Fiat 500 Abarth" And it failed MISERABLY. I would say that im still in the "Fletchling state" As you would say and the fact i cant buy better cars is saddening. You calling the mustang an affordable pony car seems really weird to me as owning a mustang is a huge deal here. Ive literally seen 0 mustang in India in all of my 14 years. Things like these are really stopping me from entering the car community and i have no idea on what i could do to actually buy my favorite car which you could call "cheap" or "affordable" But for me its just as expensive as my house. Thank you again for getting me into cars :).

In my opinion, determining engine placement is decided by 2 factors: engines orientation to the driver, and the orientation to the differential. This can applied to just about every car I can think of (obviously an exception probably exists). Engine in front of driver and infront the rear differential, front engine (think corvette). Engine is behind the driver but also infront of the differential, mid engine (think koenigsegg). Engine is behind the driver, and behind the differential, rear engine (think porsche 911). There, very simple. Obviously an exception can exist. An engine behind the driver but drives the front wheels. Tl,dr: engine placement is determined by its location in the drive line in relation to the driver.

From my point of view there's two ways of looking at this argument: 1) There is no car with an engine truly in the middle (anymore). The engine is either front, front/mid, rear, or rear/mid. 2) A front engine car has the engine in front of the driver, and both mid and rear engines are behind the driver.

Imagine if the engine placement is actually 50/50 so you have this huge block of power sitting literally in the middle of the driver’s seat and the passenger’s seat. Ridiculous.

I love how all these videos are just ranting about 1 or 2 things that annoyed him personally in conversation and sometimes he'll add some more stuff to justify it being a video. A lot of the time, he'll even try to attach a lesson to the rant which is really just reiterating the thing he was saying, it's great

Saw some guy comment that the Corvette was a muscle car, his reasoning was they came out during the same time as the mustang and the Camaro and it has a V8, despite the fact that the Corvette came out over 10 years before them and I don't think I have to explain the second one.

I think what most people refer to with ‘front engine’ is front engine or front-mid engine and most people also call rear engine cars (like the porsche 911) ‘mid-engine’ cars. So what I mean to say: front or front-mid=front and rear-mid or rear=mid for most people

Just to clarify: I wouldn’t correct someone for calling a front-mid engine car ‘front engine’ but people who call 911’s ‘mid engine cars’ annoy me. (Not a porsche fanboy, but I’m german so I take a car from my country as an example)

I thought people would confuse weight distribution for engine placement, so when you said "it's close to 50/50 I thought you were referring to the length behind the engine vs in front of the engine.

As for the first point, a mid-engine is anything with the engine (or at least the engine's center of mass) in between the axles. By definition, a front-mid engine car is just as qualified to be called mid engine as a rear-mid engine car.

When bladed is congratulating the driver for front engine apexes, I was annoyed since I do the same daily at 30-80 MPH with a 90s Jeep, so I have to deal with air resistance, apexes, and a very top-heavy vehicle to drive at speed.

Funnily enough, I set better track times in GT Sport with the C7R than any other *rEaR*-mid-engine car in the game. I find that cars with the engines behind the driver are much harsher in terms of causing much higher chances of spin-outs since more weight is back there.

personally I always refer to mid engine placement as between the rear axle and rear seats since that is what people consider mid engine unless I am pointing out technicalities like that or the Packard model B
