And I always thought Porsche's were rear engined sports cars. Thanks for the info

 

Has there been another car with the engine between the axles but in front of the driver? Could these "definitions" be the result of no precedence?

 

Yes....the RX-7 -- at least after 1988. I don't know about the earlier ones. That little rotary was nice and snug against the firewall and clearly behind the front wheels. I haven't looked at the RX-8, so I don' t know if that's the same or not.

"...There have been a few front, mid-engine cars like the Citroen SM..."

I don't think there are any hard and fast definitions.

 

cars with the engine behind the front axle but in front of the driver...

ford model T...15 million of them..1909-1927.
