What does MR mean?

[OKendra]

MR is the abbreviation for "Middle Engine, Rear Drive", meaning "mid-engine, rear-wheel drive", also known as "mid-rear drive", which is one of the drivetrain configurations for two-wheel-drive vehicles. Here is some additional information: 1. Advantages and disadvantages: The biggest advantage of MR is obviously the even weight distribution, resulting in a very neutral handling characteristic. The downside is that the engine occupies space that would otherwise be used for the cabin, reducing space utilization and practicality. Therefore, most vehicles that use MR are sports cars that prioritize handling performance. Examples include the Ferrari 458, Ferrari 488, Ferrari LaFerrari, Lamborghini Huracán, and McLaren. 2. Mid-rear and front-mid: A mid-engine layout places the engine behind the cabin but in front of the rear axle, known as mid-rear. Such sports cars do not have a trunk; instead, they have a front trunk, with the engine cover at the rear. Mid-rear-drive supercars offer a lot of driving fun and excellent handling. There is also another layout called front-mid. Front-mid-engine cars are relatively rare, and the Mercedes-AMG GT R is an example of a front-mid-engine car.
