Flat-12 ....crikey, that would be electric motor smooth...smile

A swap would be interesting, but a bit weird sitting in the back seat of a Liberty to point the thing.

F1 Apparently: "Motori Moderni designed a 3.5 litre flat-12 engine for Subaru, which would be used in the 1990 Coloni Formula One car. The Coloni&#8722;Subaru was not competitive and did not start a Grand Prix. The Motor Moderni flat-12 engine also appeared in detuned form in the Jiotto Caspita supercar. This only appeared in a single prototype and was not put into production."

It would be awesome to hear what it sounds like and to see what it revs to.smile

There was one for sale on ebay in 2005 for 30 grand.

Hi,

Correct, definitely the F1 engine. Too heavy and slow, was canned pretty quickly after being unsuccessful.

I wonder where it is now?

Cheers,
Nik
