Boxeer - Subaru Diesel Engines

here's the boxer diesel at play on Pike's Peak challenge: 22B Replica Diesel is Mixed-Up Madness - Subiesport TV

45mpg, 200 horsepower, much more torque ;-)

just under $5k for a low hours engine
just under $8k for a zero hours engine

... and then there are the extra goodies

one can dream

Did these make it to market in the USA yet? They look fantastic, and might be a nice replacement for my aging Passat TDI. They there is the high mileage Kia Rio Diesel. That would be a great daily hack.......why can't we have them like the rest of the planet?

I think you'd have trouble retrofitting that into a benz.

I doubt theres enough room between frame rails of any benz.

You'd have to reshape the cradle aft of the rear axle and add a cooling system. Can't be more difficult than a 617 powered Studebaker Coupe Express

any subaru boxer engine is really wide, those cars frame rails are the widest of any regular car you see. Take a look at one without an engine.
