Front engine, Rear wheel drive.
A term used to describe a vehicle with the engine located in the front, powering the rear wheels via a propshaft (driveshaft).
Most cars built prior to the 1970's had an FR layout, however most automobile manufacturers are using front wheel drive layouts for their economy models due to lighter weight, and cheaper manufacturing costs. The FR layout is still commonly found in sports cars and high-end luxury sedans.
From a performance standpoint; most FR vehicles are inherently balanced and when correctly setup will exhibit neutral handling characteristics.

Front engine, Front wheel drive
A vehicle with its engine located in the front of the car, powering the front wheels.
Front wheel drive was popularized in the late 1970's / early 1980's by Japanese and European automobile manufacturers. Initially used in economy cars as a way of maximizing interior space, minimizing weight, and lowering manufacturing costs. Marketing was initially aimed at female drivers, claiming that FF cars were easier to drive.
FF layout cars are at a disadvantage performance wise due to the fact that the front wheels perform the double duty of steering and accelerating the vehicle. As much as 70% of the car's weight will often rest on the front wheels due to the forward placement of the engine, transmission, differential, and driveshafts. Because of this, FF cars tend to understeer (push) upon exiting a corner under power. Despite their disadvantages, FF cars tend to do well in races based on production cars where they can take full advantage of their light weight.

Despite being FF, the Integra Type R is a top contender at autocross due to it's light weight, limited slip differential, and powerful engine.
