Front wheel drive with engine in front is safer only in the wet or snow. The braking and steering suffers tremendously from a physics standpoint as the front axle takes on too much function. The mass is misplaced and as a result the brakes are overworked, as are the small skinny tires lose grip. That's what makes the midengine and rear engine Porsches the best design for driving fast and winning races.
