There are three types of provision as opposed cylinder engines:
- The Boxer engine is used in Volkswagen Beetle, Volkswagen Kombi the legendary Porsche 911 , and is currently used by Subaru (In the Impreza, Legacy, etc.) And are usually between 4 and 6 cylinders.
- The V engine with 180 º , configuration very similar to Boxer engine, is used by some special editions Ferrari and Alfa Romeo . The basic difference is that occasionally the other with V at 180 º do not use a long stump as the Boxer, but the rods have the same position on the crankshaft, making it as a piston on the crank the other away, opposite to what happens in the Boxer in which the pistons move away and near the same time. The 180 º V engine is used more than 8 cylinders where it has been more effective, while Boxer is used in pairs with less than 6 cylinders and therefore have partnered each other as the same type of file (boxermotor).
- The cylinder horizontally opposed engine another name for Boxer.
The advantage of these three types of engines with cylinder in opposition is that they have a lower height and center of gravity lower than that of their peers online and "V"
