all I ever see is "oh it was a flop" / a failed F1 prototype (Here's some Wiki links & references) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_1235 BUT Did you know it was in the Prototype Koenigsegg AND went into a production Supercar called the Jiotto Caspita http://koenigsegg.com/ama1-with-cvk-early-years-and-process/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_Chiti http://koenigsegg.com/ama1-with-cvk-part-3-racing-and-technology/ http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/koenigsegg-cc-v-8-the-swedish-super-egg-road-test-a-supercar-in-the-making-page-2 https://www.facebook.com/pages/Jiotto-Caspita/106230496075672 so yea not such a 'Failed engine' after all eh?

Actually, I just figured it out. I was squatting down contemplating setting the car on fire and I realised that the power steering cooling sits significantly higher than the res so I unbolted it, dropped it down, sawed the wheel from lock to lock a few times and viola some of the fluid level dropped, topped it up and fired it up and problem solved. No more bubbles or foaming.

in a ferrari testrossa with flat 12, the drivetrain is on a subframe designed to make engine removal relatively easy for maintenance. using a flat 12 does present compromises in packaging , suspension design and underbody aero.
