Hablando de garompas medias rebuscadas.. Lindas pero que nunca andaron.. Alguien tiene fotos del Subaro flat 12 Formula Uno?? Muy lindo
Subaru/Motori Moderni 1235 flat-12
Of the former turbo runners Motori Moderni together with Subaru money entered in 1990 with the Carlo Chiti designed 1235 B12. This was a 180-degree flat 'boxer' engine layout in the Ferrari/Alfa design practice used during the 1970s. The flat-engine concept while having advantages in low center of gravity became obsolete when the ground-effect cars requiring air-flow venturies came along in the late 1970s. The wide flat-layout obstructed the airflow and such designs quickly disappeared. The 1235 was both overweight at 159kg and also down on power while being prone to blow-ups… The only user, Coloni gave up on the engine mid-season 1991 after eight DNPQs. They also went back to the proven route of DFR V8 and speed and reliability improved little. The MM/Subaru engine later saw use in offshore powerboat racing and is currently used in the Swedish Koeniggsegg supercar. Curiously, during the same period Mercedes also designed a flat 180-degree 12-cylinder engine, the M291, for use in their C291 Group C car. This engine gave Michael Schumacher and Karl Wendlinger victory at Autopolis in the Sportscar World Championship season finale. Earlier this engine was plagued by oil-scavenging problems but they were solved and the engine was ultimately reliable enough to win but still hefty at 170kg.

Un bicho raro, BRM H16, es como si pusieran dos boxer 8c uno arriba del otro conectando los dos cigueñales por un engranaje, en fin una garompa que nunca pudieron hacer andar, demasiado rebuscado.
Por mas que en carrera , no haya sido tan exitoso, te parece poco, que salgan casi 600 CV de 3 litros en los años 60 ????????

Solo dije que era complicado y nunca fue competitivo, para la epoca casi 600HP era una guasada, ya que los Ford DFV estaban en los 400 y algo, pero estos eran mucho mas "usables" (buen torque y rango usable de RPM mas amplio) mas confiables, mas livianos y con menor consumo.
