The 3rd link isn't really that great either. I'll try to source out that magazine.

OK, I found one of the sources that read it in:
June 2003 edition of "Oldtimer Markt" - Europes most published magazine for classic cars and motorcycles. It's on page 11, part of the article on the Porsche 917 "Der Widerspenstigen Zähmung". It roughly translates: "Even though the 180 degree cylinder angle would have one believe that the Type 912 motor is a Boxer (engine), it was in fact a flat V-engine. The difference being that a "boxer" motor has one crank pin per cylinder, which enables the cylders to "box" at one another. But like a V-motor, two cylinders shared a crank pin (in this engine.)" This text suggests that "boxer" motors are unique. It makes no mention of "flat" engines, as some of the links I posted earlier do. I'll post more as I find it...   |
