Re: Midengined
Technically, a mid engined car is one where the engine (center of gravity) sits between the front & rear axles. Mid-engine cars like the Ferrari 430, have the engine connected directly to the transaxle with no "driveshaft". Some cars that claim to be mid-engine use driveshafts to connect to the rear end or even a rear mounted transaxle. Of course, the whole ideas of mid engine is to distribute weight more evenly and lower the polar moment of inertia.
