Supposedly available in a production vehicle eary next year!
interesting... There is a photo that reveals some of the internals. That crazy crank is going to be turning it. Bizarre. The gas versions can't even stay together. This will prove to be interesting..... A 3 main bearing indestructible crank would make my day.Like the day they made it over 100 years ago.With over 100 years and climbing (pun intended) tp prove it is indesterctible I wonder what they think they are capturing with those extra 2 bearings... Where there is nothing but the genious that goes with a boxer four, They are putting a bearing where perfection occured, and more friction. it clearly shows Japan robbed the design for thier own. Leaps and bounds by Subaru, and that EJ crank is as backwards as it gets. Bizarre bizarre... A turbo'd diesel torque thump is going to be interesting indeed...balanced engine or not, it needs a man sized crankshaft.
Oh, BTW, for all you history buffs out there, the article has errors.
