Where is an engine located in a car?

The engine in a car is typically located in the front of the vehicle.

However, there are some variations:

* Front-engine, rear-wheel drive (FR): The engine is at the front, but the power is sent to the rear wheels. This is common in sports cars and some luxury sedans.

* Front-engine, front-wheel drive (FF): The engine is at the front, and the power is sent to the front wheels. This is the most common layout in modern cars.

* Mid-engine: The engine is positioned behind the passenger compartment, typically in the center of the vehicle. This layout is common in supercars and some sports cars.

* Rear-engine: The engine is located at the rear of the vehicle. This layout is rare in modern cars but was common in some classic models, like the Volkswagen Beetle.
