Why cars motor is on the front and not on the back of the car?
In: 9
Historically the first cars were emulating what they were familiar with: carriage with horses. The horses are always in the front.
The general cabin was modeled in that fashion. Most popular was rear wheel drive configuration. But that has shortcomings and today cars (trying to be mostly efficient) come in front wheel drive configuration.
On top of these popular cars, some racing inspired autos come with mid engine (like the latest Corvette). But that sacrifices space for stability.
