It isn't quite as exciting as your average Subaru picture, which generally involves an Impreza at full pelt, but this is our first glimpse of Subaru's long-awaited flat-four diesel engine.
The new engine, which will be unveiled at the Geneva motor show in March, will be the world’s first horizontally opposed turbodiesel engine.

The new engine will first be used in the Legacy from 2008.
