I'm not a car guy but would like to be more educated. What's all this mid engine, rear engine, front engine stuff?

I'm not a car guy but would like to be more educated. What's all this mid engine, rear engine, front engine stuff?

Front engine = Engine between front wheels / front of car - IE most cars
Rear engine  = Engine between rear wheel / back of car  - IE Porsche 911’s
Mid engine   = Engine behind drivers / front seats - Ahead of rear wheel - IE Audi R8

Quick rough guide.
HTH.

But what are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Is there a link somewhere that breaks it down for the pathetically uninformed.

My brother, who was a car guy, had a Porsche 911 back in the mid 70s. It was jet black and I remember the engine being in the rear and being air cooled. Sweet ride and a pussy magnet for a guy in his mid twenties. He treated it like it was the Christ child.
