It is the name that Subaru uses to describe the horizontally opposed engines used in their cars. That is, instead of a vee configuration used on must 6 and 8 cylinder cars, or an in-line as used on most 4 cylinders, the Subaru 4 cylinder engines have the cylinders lying flat, two on each side of the crankshaft. --Ken

Is the boxer engine a free spinner engine?

Not sure what you mean by a free spinner engine. A boxer engine is an engine with two cylinders or a multiple thereof (eg 4 or 6 cylinders) that are horizontally opposed and the corresponding opposite pairs fire simultaneously As a result the boxer engine is one of the three engine types with a natural dynamic balance The other 2 being the V-12 and the straight-6. However on boxer engines with less than 6 cylinders there is a noticeable torque reaction, especially noticeable on BMW boxer engine motorcycles, due to the cylinders not being directly opposite but slightly offset from each other
