I read an article today that said the Koeniggsegg was powered by a Subaru/Motori Moderni 1235 Flat 12. here is a pic of the engine a pic of the Swedish supercar at the time and a pic of them working on it
i think they tried a bunch of different motors out for the car back when it was a prototype. I know its powered by a SC v8 now
A little more research, I guess Subaru was briefly involved in F1 and this motor was what they produced for F1. "There's also a reminder of a time in the pre-Impreza days when the company became briefly involved in a quite different kind of international motorsport, with the splendid-looking flat-12 Subaru Motori Moderni Formula 1 engine supplied in 1990 to the cash-strapped Coloni team. The car had a dismal competition history, though, with Bertrand Gachot unable to qualify for four Grand Prix races in succession. That was the end of Subaru's F1 involvement."
I believe that Subaru is about to get back into F1 within the next year or 2. Amol would know more about it than me though, maybe he will post up.
who is Amol..is he a member here or a ghost? Is he the guy with the hairy palms? I dont see many posts by him :keke:
i asked him basicly the same question... "what power plant is the prodive team going to use in F1? will it be a subaru?" he didn't know, but that was last week, maybe he has heard something recently
