Where is the engine air intake located?

Engine air intake locations vary by vehicle; some are positioned at the front of the engine, while others are at the rear. Typically, there is only one intake, though high-performance sports cars may feature individual intakes per cylinder, which is relatively rare. While intake designs differ, their function remains consistent: to supply fresh air to the engine and provide ventilation cooling for heat sources requiring temperature regulation, such as the air conditioning condenser, radiator, and oil cooler. The engine air intake is essentially an opening in the air duct or similar structure, utilizing the vehicle's forward motion to collect and direct air into the engine or ventilation system.
