Audi (various models), Volvo (850-series), Honda/Acura (Vigor) and VW (old
Passat aka. Quantum, Eurovan?) are the only ones I am aware of. Anyone
know of any others? I've also seen engines with five small cylinders
arranged parallel in a circular "bundle", with the pistons pushing against
a wavy camplate (I think they called it a DynaCam engine?) but not in a
production car. And I suppose there's probably a 5-cyl radial engine out
there in aviation history... Now, I'm waiting for someone to produce a
V-5 engine! ;-)
