Flat engines have always been different. Low, wide, balanced, distinctive, and sometimes awkward, they shaped some of the most memorable machines in motoring, motorcycling, aviation, and racing history.

The Flat Engine: Balance, Packaging, and the Engines That Kept Their Pistons Low tells the story of boxer engines, horizontally opposed engines, flat-fours, flat-sixes, flat-twelves, air-cooled Volkswagens, Porsche sports cars, Subaru rally icons, BMW boxer motorcycles, Honda touring machines, light aircraft engines, and the engineering compromises that made them fascinating.
