Why do you hate transverse engines?

working on accessory drive stuff/belts/etc jammed up against the frame rail with like 0.7cm of space is fucking AIDS and they all have objectively terrible weight distribution with the engine engine and most of the transaxle mounted forward of the front axles

>forward of the front axles

Pics or it didn't happen.

no shit that's not the case for a mid engine car, I'm talking about FWD because that's both approximately 99.996% of all transverse cars ever made and the vast majority of transversely mounted engines I have experience with driving and working on

I don't. The Elise, Miura, and NSX are some of my favourite MRs.

This. People hate transverse configurations with engine in the front, OP can't even do his homework.

You're a wrenchlet and probably a busrider too.

What if the Mercedes was just a smashing car, a super dooper one, even Googles AI shite tells me Miura so someone must have called it that.

The C16T is sort of a special case because while it has a transverse engine, it has a longitudinal transaxle driven from the center of the engine. Most transverse engine configurations are fucked from placing the engine on top of the transmission and driving it from the end of the engine.
