The Scion FR-S/Toyota 86 isn’t the only car with the boxer engine under its hood. Toyota had built its first sports car called the Sports 800 in the mid-1960s and not only that, it also had a boxer twin engine Toyota had just built itself under its hood. The series of the boxer engine is called the Toyota U engine and its production was even extended from 2012 to 2021 with partnership with Subaru to build its own identical rear-wheel-drive sports cars like the Scion FR-S/Toyota 86 and the Subie BRZ.
@@LukaPOfficiel They do not "own" Subaru. They have a simple minority stake of 20%, which is a fair amount (as simple minorities go), but that means 80% (the super majority) is owned by someone else. Also, Subaru is an autonomous organization, and NOT a subsidiary of Toyota. Which means, Subaru does all of their own engineering, and they make all of their own business plans. Further, Toyota didn't even begin their stake in Subaru until 2005, at which point Subaru had been making boxer engines for 39 years already, to Toyota's zero years (to this day). Additionally, the only co-offered product between the two companies is the BRZ/86, and that vehicle is NOT manufactured at a Toyota facilities, but rather Subaru's facilities. To sum up, you're not just a little wrong, you're profoundly wrong across all metrics of consideration.
Why not use an opposed piston engine? It has greater mechanical efficiency. We can also make it a 2 stroke, giving it a simpler construction. Modern day Ionic filters could mitigate the negative heavy polluting effect of 2 stroke engines.
Since when did Toyota make a boxer engine?? If you are talking about the 86, then you should know that the 86 is a subie BRZ made in the same subaru factory. But i'm curious if toyota does make one, where do they sell it?
So, which 45 years did Subaru exclusively use boxers? Because they started making the Sambar kei Truck (with van variants), with a parallel twin, in 1961 and production of various parallel twin Sambars continued continuously until 1990, when the parallel twin was dropped in favor of an inline 4, with Subaru making inline 4 Sambars until something like 2009 or 2010. Subaru still offers Sambars today, but they are just rebadged Daihatsu Hijets with inline triples.... Subaru's first boxer 4 was released in 1965. So, really, Subaru's boxer-only years were from 2009 to present, a mere 13 years. Otherwise, a good video, although it might've been rad if you included motorbikes, past and present, as well as extinct boxer-powered cars from bygone eras....
@@powertools2375 My Subaru outback (2008) gets between 15 and 22 mpg. It is pretty low on fuel efficiency I think. However, it has the nicest suspension and smoothest ride of any car ever. Subarus are also world renowned for their safety. Fortunately, I've never been in an accident with one :)
can see why they wear out so quickly, no wonder alot of Subaru Impreza`s are parked in front gardens covered over.. LOL, owners cant afford to repair them.
1:51. Toyota does NOT manufacture boxer engines, they sell Subaru boxer engines, made by Subaru.
But BMW builds boxer engines e.g. for the R1250RT motorbikes which are not mentioned

@@craftedentity3491 Is the 1960s Sports 800 in production? No. Toyota does not manufacture any boxer engines. That is stated in the present tense.
“The boxer engine’s design leads to better fuel efficiency.”
*Me getting 17 mpg city in my STI 🤔
Also, aluminum is less durable than steel. This vid is whack.
Lucky, I get 13 :(
Most of the BMW Bikes has boxer engines but not mentioned!!
They forgot to mention the BMW as a manufacturer of a boxer engine.
in germany thats not necessary! nothing against english fine motors!
And they mentioned Toyota, who does not.
@@bujin5455 toyota owns Subaru so basically Toyota only manufactures boxer engines for all subaru variants.

@@bujin5455 Thank you for this detailed answer, I wasn’t that aware about it.
If I’m not mistaken, only Subaru and Porsche ever build boxers. Toyota uses Subaru’s.
BMW uses its own design of boxer in motorcycles.
I think BMW made one for their motorcycle
Honda uses various cc displacements of the boxer type (1500 and 1800 for example) for their Goldwing line of motorcycles.

Subaru ♥️😍
Better fuel efficiency? Reliability? The jokes are real lol
Please elaborate I’m looking to buy a Subaru. Or is it just your opinion?
@@powertools2375 Get a Honda instead

Yes it amazes me how important detail gets omitted in an excellent video. You show a BMW bike then omit to include it in the narrative. Duh!
4th cylinder left the chat
Alfa 33,145/6 have boxer engine
Well done video 👌🏻
Alfa Romeo,nogle af de ældre modeller har Boxer motor😅
how it's work?
BMW doesn’t have one of these motors ?
Why the flat/opposite non boxer configuration not mentioned? Dis
Because it is not a boxer engine.
The title can’t really be more clear about why not 😂
F*****g music on background... really? 😡 otherwise it's a good video!
BMW Motorcycles would like to have a word
Porsche pronounced “Porsh-uh” Not Porsch. -_-“
This is true if you’re German. If not, no one cares about the “uh” at the end.
Yeah and Germany is pronounced "doystchslangsgs"... O wait we are speaking English.
It’s Boxster, not Boxer.
Is boxer, not boxster. Boxster is a name for Porsche "boxster" (roadster boxer). Read a book from time to time!!!
Yes a dumb thing to say. So many unread people with misguided opinions
can see why they wear out so quickly, no wonder alot of Subaru Impreza`s are parked in front gardens covered over.. LOL, owners cant afford to repair them.
BS. Subaru makes some of the most reliable vehicles in the world next to Toyota.
