What engine layouts have you owned?

4x 4 cyl
4x flat 6
10x straight 6
1x V6
6x V8 inc 2 flat plane crank, 2 supercharged
1x V6 Tdi
1x 4Tdi

It has to be said, noise aside (and actually the V6 sounded good) the diesels do go astonishingly well in day to day driving with great economy.

My 'itch' is a V10, ideally contained in a Lamborghini Huracan :D
 
:?:

Single cylinder x 4
Twin x 2
1 x V Twin
3 x L Twins
1 x Transvers 4
Inline 4 x too many to count (2 x turbo 1 x supercharged)
Straight 6
Flat 6

Bikes included!

Much more to an engine than how many cylinders it has, Ducati desmodronic V twins (L twins really) being a case in point, very special feeling and sound!
 
Any ex Wankelers?
 
Three cyl Saab 2 stroke,

Vertical straight 4 & 6,

Angled straight 4's (924, 924 turbo, 924 Carerra GT, 924 S, 944, 944 turbo, 968,

Straight 6,

V8,

If were including bikes, flat horizontally apposed twin, parallel twins, in line twins, in line three cylinders, in line 4 cylinders, vee twin.

Interesting thread , I'm always looking back at the cars I've had , it's quite a list now , maybe the mrs is right , I have got a problem !
10 x straight 4
2 x straight. 6
1 x flat 4
2 x v8
1 x straight 5
One of the straight 6 's was a diesel
 
Far too many inline 4's
1 x V4
3 x V6
5 x flat 6
4 x V8
3 x V10

Just the V12 box to tick....
 
NA I4's mostly. Though the S2000 V-TEC, Toyota 4A-GE, Renault 16v & Alfa TS we're stand outs. Especially the V-TEC :cloud9:
The turbocharged Cosworth I4 was interesting technically but not that inspiring as a lump.
Not that powerful but I loved the sound and torque of my VW V5.
I've had F6's now, one NA and three turbocharged. All sublime.

As MC says though, each engine is very different. The A-series I4 is a world away from the V-TEC :?:

Have an itch for a Wankel though. Or another S-2000...... :chin:
