Smart fortwo.

How do you define "rear engined"? Engine behind the occupants; engine entirely behind the axle line; engine mostly behind the axle line;...

[V8forweekends]

Do you mean currently? There have been loads in the past, not many left.

[vtecyo]

The original Beetle?

Good point, technically a Reliant Robin in mid engine rear wheel drive

Not current but Skoda (proper ones not the rebadged VAG crap), Renault up to Renault 10, Fiat 500, 126,850. More obscure Tatra, Corvair, Simca, NSU Prinz.

Proving that 50 years of development and lots of clever electronics can make it work.

I'd call "Mid" for that one, as the driveshafts exit BEHIND the block!

The engine is ahead of the rear axle line so would be mid engined, same as for boxster/ cayman and Ferrari 458 (as examples).

Isn't the 911 and Beetle the same car?
