Uhm - so basically you are saying you never knew that Porsche was using the flat-4 design in the 1930's? (this following Hitlers order to produce a car for less than 1000 marks...)

Are you high? a flat-4 is called an opposed 4 cylinder also known as a boxer engine by Porsche.

dont forget the 180 degree v12's from the Testarossa! although, ive heard it refered to as the flat plane crank design

[Vansquish]

How about the Ferrari 512BB ? It had a Flat 12. It was used in its successors, the Testarossa, the 512TR and the F512M, as well as a ton of race cars in the 60's and 70's...for instance the 312PB.

No fucktard - I am not high - but your intelligence is low.... I was simply affirming other peoples statements that this engine layout is most often referred to as a flat layout.

You were trying to inform others that it is more often called a boxer or horizontally opposed layout - and never referred to as a flat layout.

In this respect you are wrong - as the engine layout, as pointed out by many, many folks is more commonly called flat, with horizontally opposed probably coming in a distant second - and then boxer a very distant third - and the 180 degree V a close 4th (bet you never knew that a straight line is also a 180 degree angle... - look that up in your Haynes Fuel Injection Repair Guide....

The common name of the layout was the point of all our replys.

i honestly think that every assignment i've done since 2000 has in some way been plaigarised from that site...
