Article about the evolution of the subaru boxer. No mention of where they
got the idea..




[ I believe they still pay a royalty to Porsche for some aspect of the
engine design ]


More interesting that VW gave up on the engine design and subaru has gone on
to prove it was not quite ready for retirement.


Article finishes noting " Subaru is planning to stick with its boxer engines
as the basis of its future models and is currently in the final stages of
developing a diesel boxer motor to meet market demand in Europe where over
50 percent of all new cars are now diesel powered.
