Bugatti 18.3 Chiron / EB 218 cars
"Cette étude, développée par Giorgetto et Fabrizio Giugiaro (Italdesign), est une version perfectionnée de l’EB218 avec le moteur 18 cylindres en position centrale arrière et une carrosserie en fibre de carbone."
Is there a standard way to describe this configuration in English?
Thanks, Michael

As opposed to "front engined" where the engine is pretty much in front of and above the front wheels, and "rear engined" where it hangs out over the back wheels, as in VW Beetles.

rear mounted engine
As opposed to under the bonnet. I don't think you need worry about "central" as that can be assumed whereas "offset" would need to be specified.

mid rear engine
mid-rear engine (position)
Another configuration is mid front engine.
I'd leave position out though.
