SUBARU UNVEILS NEW BOXER DIESEL
Turbo-diesel flat-four claimed as world-first
Subaru said it's about to unveil what it called the world’s first horizontally-opposed turbo-diesel engine.
The company will be debuting the engine at the 77th Geneva International Motor Show next month, along with an entire, all-wheel-drive drivetrain.
Subaru said it "believes passionately" in its boxer engines which are more compact than in-line units and provide a much lower centre-of-gravity. This reduces body roll for safer cornering and also enhances handling precision.
Due for its first vehicle application early next year, Subaru claimed its boxer turbo diesel to be a highly rigid unit with low levels of noise and vibration, eliminating the need for a balancer shaft. Other benefits include compactness and strong pulling power at low engine speeds with high-rev throttle-response.
