All vehicles have their own body shapes and designs. Many automakers have been tinketing with ths proportions of their vehicles, in order to suit the specific needs or requirements of their buyers. From "off-road centric" vehciels, to highway cruisers, to even efficient city drivers... Each vehicle has different designs in order to perform the best way possible.
One aspect that is usually tinkered with is overhangs... From Family Crossovers, to Sports Cars, to even Full-size Luxury sedans! All of these vehicles have overhangs that are specially designed for practicality, safety, efficiency, off-road capability, etc.
The questions is "How much do you actually know (or have you learned) about Short vs. Long Overhangs on vehicles?" Let's test your knowledge and find out!
This quiz will leave you being knowledgeable about Short vs. Long Overhangs, and able to show all your new car knowledge to your friends and family! So, buckle up, grab your thinking caps, and hold on for this extreme ride! :wink:
I hope you enjoy! Also, don't hesitate to subscribe to my YouTube channel, DriveAndBeDriven for more awesome posts, videos, and now "quizzes" like this one! :oncoming_automobile:

Wouldn't more weight over the front wheels cause oversteer rather than understeer since the rear of the car would be lighter thus causing "tail wag" aka oversteer

Yeah I suppose you could be right, I was just going off of when I used to race go karts on an oval track and when we adjusted the weight jacks for too much front end weight, the kart would be "loose" kinda like oversteer

Yeah. Well with cars you aren't just moving the entire center of gravity around. I mean you are, but it's a more dynamic issue than just that. You were right in theory, just not in application here.

Yup, I can see where you're coming from, every application is a little different
It still says rear liftover height in the bottom 2 paragraphs
Wow! Good eye! Thanks for letting me know. I didn't even notice that! :sweat_smile:
