Opposing engines have become a continuation of the evolution of internal combustion engines and have appeared after the ordinary, V-shaped and W-shaped engines. By and large, the opposites have become one of the engines having a V-shaped arrangement of cylinders. Only the corner of the cylinder was already 180 degrees in the oppositing motor, that is, the cylinders are in two rows opposite each other.
This design solves the problem of vibration-engines are given a smoother performance. In addition, the centre of gravity of the vehicle is reduced by the arrangement of the cylinders-it is moved closer to the road, which improves manageability.
All models of Japanese Subaru brand have been equipped with oppositic engines since 1963
