240 Landmarks Top ＞ Gasoline and Natural Gas Engine ＞ Horizontally-opposed engine EA52 (mounted on Subaru 1000, etc.) 　Horizontally-opposed engine EA52 (mounted on Subaru 1000, etc.) Taking advantage of the longitudinal FF layout unique to horizontally opposed engines, the EA52 was developed as Japan's first proper engine for small front engine front wheel drive passenger cars. This lightweight, compact, and low vibration engine fully showcased the benefits of a horizontally opposed engine.
