Subaru actually did get involved with the Coloni F1 team back in the early 90s. Maybe 91. Anyway, the engine they provided was a flat-12, but it was really an Italian engine (can't remember the marque) that Subaru rebadged as their own.
The engine was atrociously unreliable, and I don't think it finished a race.
Edit:Found a link - and even with a nice photo of the engine. Apparently, the car never even qualified.
