The FMR Tg500 was a sports car built by Fahrzeug- und Maschinenbau GmbH, Regensburg (FMR) from 1958 to 1961. Based on the Messerschmitt Kabinenroller monocoque, which otherwise was a platform for three-wheelers, the Tg500 was a four-wheeled car with a two-stroke straight-two engine.

A front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout (FMR) places the engine in the front half of the vehicle but behind the front axle, which likewise drives the rear wheels via a driveshaft. Shifting the engine's center of mass rearward aids in front/rear weight distribution and reduces the moment of inertia , both of which improve a vehicle's handling .

Historically most classical FR cars such as the Ford Models T and A would qualify as an FMR engine car. Additionally, the distinction between FR and FMR is a fluid one, depending on the degree of engine protrusion in front of the front axle line, as manufacturers mount engines as far back in the chassis as possible.

中置发动机，前轮驱动布局（英语：Mid-engine, Front-wheel drive layout，缩写为MF），简称中置前驱，意指引擎放置在前轴之后、驾驶座之前，由前轮驱动整辆汽车的方式。 与 前置前驱 比起来，这种方式为了获得更好的车重分配，于是把 引擎 向后移。 但如此一来，却因占用空间而必须加长车身，这也是 现代汽车 制造商不爱采用这种方式的原因。 不过，这种方式因达到较理想的车重分配，可提高操控性 [1]。 前中置的车是世纪之交才量产，九十年代德国一家叫威玆曼汽车 …

The FMR TG500 was introduced in 1958, largely based on the Messerschmitt Kabinenroller three-wheeler, the TG500 had the notable addition of a fourth wheel. These rear-engined, rear wheel drive cars featured tandem seating for its two passengers, while being offered in roadster, bubble-top, or convertible versions.

FMR is a mid-engine layout but front-mounted (similar to FR cars) typically were front wheels is closer to front bumper. Very common for BMW M-series and sports saloon, seldom for sports car like Honda S2000 .

2009年9月23日 · The FMR layout, standing for front mid-engine, rear wheel drive, is a layout of an automobile that places the engine in the front, like the FR layout, but pushed back enough that the engine's center of gravity is to the rear of the front axle. This aids in weight distribution and reduces the moment of inertia, helping handling.
