I can't find it for sure, but I'm pretty sure this was for one of the very early cars, model "A" based on what ichitaka says.
Quote:
Having a very wide engine like a boxer in a front-mid position would mean a huge wheelbase, or a driving position pushed further back (and 2 seats). Also, I'm pretty sure I read something about this layout helping to reduce the size of the gearbox tunnel & increase footwell width. See the below image from an ND MX5, a narrow engine greatly helps creating a midship placement: I don't know where your prior comment on a Miata weighing 1248kg comes from, but the NC 2.0 PRHT came in pretty close to 1200kg. And that's with two seats and a small boot. Quote:
Do you have any data on the differences between model types? I'd be pretty interested in that. |

Also just looking at the rear engine/trans compared to firewall its looks there is a good 3" or so of space. So it looks like they could have moved everything back more but im sure they have their reasons why |

I didn't mean to create a whole debate (though it is interesting), just to post some verified, measured data on our car's weight, since I could not find any! Last edited by alex87f; 05-01-2020 at 02:52 PM. |

Are all the technical docs in Japanese? Would be pretty cool to leaf through those, but I doubt Google Translate will handle that well

If I can get a hand on it, I’ll gladly scan em & keep em in PDF plus share it w everyone... BUT sadly it doesn’t go that way. They think, it’s boring and not worth sharing to the public. I get that, they wanna hide some tech & all... but gearhead, this is better read than Stephen King or other books. |

The Viper isn't a midship either while we're at it. The only things that exist are front and rear engines, no such thing as mid-engine.
