Now that we all know what the automotive design terminology Tumblehome means, Autoline Daily's Jim Hall is back for another lesson from the Design Handbook. This time around, he focuses on explaining one of the most commonly used terms to bash front-wheel-drive cars, the dash-to-axle ratio. Technically speaking, dash-to-axle measures the distance between the A-pillar (also the leading edge of the dash) and the front axle. In terms of vehicle design, a shorter dash-to-axle ratio has become a staple of front-wheel-drive cars due to the placement of the engine and transmission under the hood.
