[LeElliana]

Models equipped with horizontally opposed engines include Subaru's Forester, Subaru XV, Impreza WRX, Legacy, and Outback, as well as the Porsche 718 and Porsche 911. Advantages of horizontally opposed engines: The primary advantage of a horizontally opposed engine is its low center of gravity. With its cylinders arranged "flat," it not only lowers the vehicle's center of gravity but also allows for a flatter and lower front-end design, enhancing driving stability. Additionally, the horizontally opposed cylinder layout is a symmetrical and stable structure, resulting in smoother operation compared to V-type engines and minimal power loss during operation. Naturally, the lower center of gravity and balanced weight distribution also contribute to improved handling. Porsche 718: Equipped with a 2.0T horizontally opposed 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 184 kW, 250 PS, and a peak torque of 310 N·m. The Porsche 718 features a mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. Porsche 911: Powered by a 4.0L horizontally opposed 6-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, producing a maximum power of 383 kW, 521 PS, and a peak torque of 470 N·m. The Porsche 911 is a rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive vehicle. Subaru Outback: Fitted with a 2.5L horizontally opposed naturally aspirated engine, generating 169 horsepower and 252 N·m of torque, paired with a CVT transmission and equipped with the Symmetrical AWD four-wheel-drive system. Subaru Legacy: Features a 2.5L horizontally opposed naturally aspirated engine, producing 171 horsepower and 235 N·m of torque, matched with a CVT transmission. Subaru Forester: Comes with a 2.0L horizontally opposed 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, paired with a CVT transmission, delivering 156 horsepower, 115 kW of power, and a peak torque of 196 N·m. Subaru XV: Standard across the lineup with a 2.0L horizontally opposed engine, offering a peak power of 113 kW and a peak torque of 196 N·m.
