A front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout (FR), also called Systeme Panhard[1] is a powertrain layout with an engine in front and rear-wheel-drive, connected via a drive shaft. This arrangement, with the engine straddling the front axle, was the traditional automobile layout for most of the pre-1950s automotive mechanical projects.[2] It is also used in trucks, pickups, and high-floor buses and school buses.
