maybe I´m wrong, but I think no boxer or V-engines are allowed, only inline-4 engines

That's the ARC (Australian Rally Championship) Regs.

I think you are referring to the WRC regs which have a standard transverse gearbox.

That doesn't apply to the regs I linked to and anyway, if Subaru wanted to re-enter the WRC, I'm sure they'd be able to sort out the gearbox issue.
