Additionally, the evolution of frame and chassis design has been significantly influenced by technological advancements. Innovations such as computer-aided design (CAD) and simulation tools have allowed engineers to optimize the frame and chassis for weight, strength, and aerodynamics. Furthermore, the rise of electric and autonomous vehicles is prompting new considerations in chassis design, as these vehicles often have different weight distributions and performance requirements compared to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles.

At the heart of the flat four engine's appeal is its unique design. Unlike traditional inline or V engines that stack cylinders vertically or diagonally, the flat four features two banks of cylinders arranged horizontally. This configuration allows the engine's weight to be distributed evenly across the chassis, resulting in improved handling and stability. Additionally, the opposing pistons move in tandem, which effectively cancels out vibrations, leading to a smoother driving experience.
