front engine

Front engine layout engine is an order in a car that was in the front. The location of the engine is in the front is the most popular configurations. In this configuration the machine is placed in front of the passenger cabin.

Advantages:
> More secure (the machine can be a shield from impact from the front)> More easily cooled (as it directly receives the flow of the wind)> Easier to maintain (because of its position at the front, it is always visible to the driver and passenger)

disadvantages:
> The weight of the car leaning forward> For rear-wheel drive will be a lot of wasted energy> Limiting aerodynamics

Engine in front of cause most of the weight concentrated in the front of the vehicle. This is usually overcome by trying to divide the weight of the vehicle gets belakang.Seperti distribute engine power to the rear wheels, it automatically makes weight more evenly, because the drive wheels and transmission device that is placed in the middle to balance the weight of the engine in front. But this way has a number of disadvantages that the engine power is wasted in the way of the engine in the front towards the rear tire on, slowly configuration front engine rear-drive being replaced front engine - driving forward. Configuring a front engine rear-drive is still popular for transport vehicles.

Configure the front-engine front-wheel drive is very exciting to be produced by the engine, transmission, steering in a single package, thus:

> cheap> easy> light> efficient

losses that arise are uneven load distribution, it is compensated by designing a more advanced electronics and tools that can make the car more stable.
