Because the pistons run in opposing directions they neutralize each other’s inertia, which results in good rotational balance. This reduces vibration and harshness, resulting in less wear and tear, lower cost of ownership and longer lasting reliability. It’s also much lighter than other engine configurations, which helps to keep the car’s weight low, improving fuel economy and handling. All-aluminum construction of the crankcase and cylinder head significantly contributes to this weight reduction. Another major advantage is that it enables the cylinder walls to be made semi-closed. This increases the strength of the cylinder wall and reduces cylinder bore stresses and...
