FRONT MOUNTED
>>
>>16443601
because it makes no logical sense
>>
>>16442944
Transverse engine in the front and rwd? How would you send the power to the rear? A chain?
>>
Because engineers aren't as retarded as you OP
>>
>>16442940
Because that would be unnecessarily complicated and inefficient for no reason.

You'd be making a millennial snowflake in car form.

In the 80's Ford built a prototype system call t-drive whereby AWD, FF and FR model shared a common transverse layout (it included a straight-8 motor)
There's a fox body thunderbird fitted with t-drive but I'm too lazy to google it.
In the end they just went with FF and V6s

This

Op is an retard. Move along.

Ford """engineering."""

because that would be retarded, just like OP is

>>16442940
Generally you see a variety of different layouts of things like suspension, drivetrain brakes or whatever because engineers are trying to achieve different things and there's no single optimal solution that they agree upon.
However when you see a spectrum of engineers not doing a thing it's may well be because they all see that it's a stupid thing to do.

Or it could be a conspiracy to hide solutions simply too good for us. We will never know.

A shit ton of bike are transverse frontmonted rwd
If think it's just practical for cars

That's because bikes have chains and rwd cars don't. They have shafts.

bevel gears are among the least efficient type

There was that RWD Evo they made for Tokyo Drift.
>>
>>16442940
that would require an extra hypoid/spiral bevel gearset, which are inefficient compared to spur gears. zero advantages, only more drivetrain losses and another fucking r&p to setup.
