[master-s]

MR= Mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive; FR= front-engined, rear-wheel-drive.

MR means that the engine is in front of the rear axle (like the MR2 and NSX). RR is the engine is behind the rear axle (like Porsche). Both being rear-wheel drive of course.

just to add alittle more, MR cars are not really good for drifting because of where the engine is located....which created an off balance which makes your tail spin out more than usual....so if you plan on getting a MR car...be careful
