Subaru introduces the company’s trademark Subaru Boxer engine.
cylinders are aligned on a single, horizontal plane. This remarkably efficient
configuration results in a powerplant that is compact, lightweight and
extraordinarily well-balanced. Now equipped with Electronic Throttle-Control
(ETC) drive-by-wire technology for more accurate and precise response,
the Subaru Boxer engine delivers outstanding power and performance.
The Subaru Boxer engine’s layout allows it to be placed
lower in the chassis, reducing vehicle center-of-gravity for
well-balanced handling.
Aluminum-alloy block and cylinder heads help to reduce
weight, thereby improving overall vehicle balance without
sacrificing strength or durability.
