In automobile design, a rear-engine design layout places the engine at the rear of the vehicle. The center of gravity of the engine itself is past the rear axle. This is not to be confused with the center of gravity of the whole vehicle, as an imbalance of such proportions would make it impossible to keep the front wheels on the ground.
Rear-engined cars are almost always rear wheel drive, a layout known as RR. The exception is certain high performance four wheel drive models from the German automaker Porsche. This layout is chosen for three reasons - packaging, traction, and ease of manufacture:
The Renault Twingo is a four-passenger city car manufactured and marketed by French automaker Renault.
The first-generation Twingo (two-door, front engine) debuted at the Paris Motor Show in September 1992, receiving its formal market launch in continental European markets beginning in 1993. Renault launched the second-generation Twingo (two-door, front engine) in the summer of 2007—and the third generation (four-door, rear engine) debuted at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show and receiving its formal market launch in September 2014.
Twingo is a portmanteau of the words Twist, Swing and Tango.
The original Twingo was launched in April 1993, was sold in Europe's LHD markets until June 2007 and received intermediate restylings in 1998, 2000 and 2004.
Designed under the direction of Patrick le Quément, Renault's chief designer. The car derived from a series of concepts developed through the W60 project when Gaston Juchet was Renault's chief designer. The project was aimed at replacing the Renault 4 with a minivan model. Le Quément chose a Jean-Pierre Ploué design to develop the production version. He included an unconventional front-end layout resembling a "smile." The interior equipment was mounted on a central console to free space.

What are the advantages of a rear mounted engine? What are the disadvantages of a mid engine? Porsche famously uses rear engines. Engine placement plays a big role in the dynamics of a vehicle, affecting weight distribution, moment of inertia, launch traction, acceleration traction, passenger space, and efficiency depending on the driven wheels used. Rear engine cars typically have the weight distribution rear-biased, meaning a high moment of inertia and tendency to oversteer, but typically great braking.

It's a 1964 Chevrolet G10 Van that's chopped and rat rodded with a blown Chrysler engine that sits backwards on top of the rear axle. We even heard it can wheel-stand. Is this thing cool? You be the judge. Eastwood has everything you need to do the job right when you're restoring your car, truck or motorcycle. Welders, plasma cutters, media blasters, rust solutions, powder coating supplies, HVLP guns and paint, hand tools, metal fab tools and more! Since 1978.

This is a demo for my vehicle design class. It is a simple front engine rear drive design.
Thomas The Tank Engine has a new 2014 Trackmaster motorized toy train system just in time for the new Thomas & Friends movie Tale Of The Brave. Not only is there a new track design, Thomas The Tank has been completely redesigned from the wheels up. Gone is the classic shape from the popular and well loved TOMY Thomas The Tank design which did carry over to the first version of Trackmaster. In this toy review I get my first taste of the new 2014 Trackmaster (or as some say Trackmaster 2) system via a quite amazing Thomas & Friends playset called Deluxe Avalanche Escape Set. This toy train set is actually two smaller sets connected as one. There is a thrilling steep and dangerous mountain climb and decent surrounded by a very spooky and scary train ride around sodor, many of these elements a...

Hello Kids, Welcome to BabyTime! A motor scooter is a motorcycle similar to a kick scooter with a seat, a floorboard, and small or low wheels! The classic scooter design features a step-through frame and a flat floorboard for the rider's feet! This design is possible because most scooter engines and drive systems are attached to the rear axle or under the seat! Unlike a conventional motorcycle, in which the engine is mounted on the frame, most modern scooters allow the engine to swing with the rear wheel, while most vintage scooters and some newer retro models have an axle-mounted engine!
