Some details about Subaru's new 3.6 "Boxer" engine to debut in the 2008 Tribeca:

• The powerplant’s figures jump to 256 horsepower (+11) and 247 pound-feet of torque (+32), all while getting better fuel economy.
• Without increasing the physical dimensions of the power unit, the displacement was expanded from 3.0 to 3.6 liters, which was made possible primarily through design changes involving expanded bore
dimensions and a longer stroke.
• The new engine maintains the same levels of emissions and fuel efficiency as the previous 3-liter unit, despite the larger engine size and more powerful output.
• The new 3.6-liter boxer engine features Dual Active Valve Control System (Dual AVCS) for controlling timing in both the intake and exhaust valves, which helps provide improved low-end torque.
• Design modifications made to the cooling system allow the use of regular unleaded gasoline, which contributes to lowering consumer operating costs.


Nice to see that Subaru's keeping the H-6 alive!
