FF: Front-engine, Front wheel drive
FR: Front-engine, Rear wheel drive
MR: Mid-engine, Rear wheel drive (namesake of Toyota MR2)
RR: Rear-engine, Rear wheel drive

Extras:
FMR: Front Mid-engine, Rear wheel drive (Subcategory of FR; weight of engine sits behind front wheels/struts, i.e., Honda S2000)


The terms "FWD" & "RWD" are vague and only tell you the set of wheels that are driven.
Terms like "FR" are brief yet tells the reader the basic layout/architecture of the chassis (where the engine sits AND driven wheels).
