We’ve seen some bonkers engines in our day, and truth be told, this three-cylinder diesel isn’t the strangest of the lot. There are plenty of inline three-pots out there, but actually, this is an opposed-piston engine, not entirely unlike the boxer engines you find with Subaru and Porsche. How do you have opposed pistons when there are only three cylinders? It’s okay, there are six pistons using those three cylinders, so the math checks out. Wait… six pistons in three cylinders?
