KKtrips Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Im pretty sure the mazda carol is the only production car in the world to come out with a transversley mounted 4 cylinder rear engine. MGF has a transversely mounted 4 cylinder rear engine Same with a Lotus Elise and an MR2 and loads of others... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majority of the mass, behind those rear wheelsicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thousand Dollar Supercar Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Im pretty sure those old skodas have a longitudinal engine configuration. Someone please correct me if im wrong. Looks like you're right. I finally found a picture. Mazda wins. Or do they? Skoda put that rear-mounted engine configuration to good use when they produced the Skoda Limousine...
