the rumor about a mid-engine Mustang was true. No, it’s not going to have its engine relocated to the rear; rather, the engine will stay up front More lies.
A "mid-engine" car does not have the engine "up front".
Like the Pantera, the GT40, the new Corvette, Indy and F1 cars...the engine is bolted to the rear mounted trans-axle, and located right behind the driver.

There are "front mid-engine" designs, where the mass of the engine is located behind the front axle centerline. This usually means that to make enough room for the engine, the firewall intrudes into the passenger cabin and makes for small, cramped foot wells.
Most such designs are European (Ferrari, Aston Martin, etc.)

I'd seeing a front engine transmitting power to a rear transaxle via a drive shaft. There's no mid-engine here.
What are you seeing?
I'm seeing a perfect 50/50 front/rear weight distribution.
