Did subaru licence the boxer engine off volkswagen? is there any documented evidence of this? thank you?
Is the subaru boxer engine originally licenced for volkswagen? is there any refference to this?
thanks for your time.
Answer
The subaru motor is water-cooled, the vw is air-cooled. other than being a horizontally opposed flat 4, they have little else in common. so, basically, no. subaru decided that the boxer setup was the way to go, mainly for space-saving.
