traduction français vers anglais [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Industrie automobile / voitures et camions / Bugatti 18.3 Chiron / EB 218 cars
Terme ou expression en français : (moteur) en position centrale arrière
"Cette étude, développée par Giorgetto et Fabrizio Giugiaro (Italdesign), est une version perfectionnée de l’EB218 avec le moteur 18 cylindres en position centrale arrière et une carrosserie en fibre de carbone."

Is there a standard way to describe this configuration in English?

Thanks, Michael

As opposed to "front engined" where the engine is pretty much in front of and above the front wheels, and "rear engined" where it hangs out over the back wheels, as in VW Beetles.

Mid-engined is the preferred design for sports cars since the mass of the motor is between the axles. This avoids the arse end sliding out when cornering, etc., gives you better control generally in slides.

rear mounted engine


Explication :
As opposed to under the bonnet. I don't think you need worry about "central" as that can be assumed whereas "offset" would need to be specified.
