Cars with 5 cylinder engines

[Whitman]

Wich cars in GT 5 have a 5 cylinder engine?
I know the Focus ST has one, but the sound is a shame...
Are there anymore?

 

[analog]

Audi Quattro, and maybe the Volvo C30 and Fiat Coupé (not sure about the last ones).

 

[Mark II Blit]

Yes, from Volvo, the C30 T5 R-Design and the S60 T5 Sport. They sound beautifully.

 

[Mike Rotch]

VW Bora is a V5 I think too.

 

[Mark II Blit]

The in-game Bora is a 2.8 VR6 4Motion

Fiat coupe turbo definatley has one, 4 valves x 5 cylinders = 20v (and a beautiful sound in real life). They have an advantage over their 4 cylinder cousins with a better power stroke frequency (sorry im an engine geek).

 

[Griffith500]

Yeah, the Fiat Coupé is the 5 cylinder version. If PD had included some of the newer fast Audis (e.g. RS3, TT RS) we might have a few more 5 cylinder cars. Then there are the Diesel oddities, and Honda's G-series engines found in their older "luxury" cars. They all sound fantastic in real life, of course.

We could realistically extend this to V10s, given they have the same drawbacks versus other layouts as, and have a very similar sound to, inline 5s.

• E60 M5
• Gallardo
• RS6 '08 (C6)
• R8 V10
• LFA
• Viper
• Peugeot 905 (sounds... odd in the game)
• The various Pescarolo Courage / Judd cars, although none of them sounds like a V10.

Maybe others.

focus st is a 5 cylinder

The Audi TT RS is 2.5 is a five cylinder, although in not sure that it's in the game. I think it's only the TT and TT S. Im not sure how many cylinders they have.

They're both four-pots. 👍

The original TT 1.8 (the standard one) is a turbo 'four, the premium 3.2 of the same model is a V6. The new TT 3.2 is also a V6 and the TTS is a turbo 'four. The RS is the only 5 cylinder TT and is not in the game. Now go and surround yourselves with TT's (sorry couldn't resist)

Heh, I forgot about those; technically they're VR6s, though. 👍
And that's exactly how I enunciate "TT", purely to amuse myself.

 

[photonrider]

Thanks for keeping me abreast. Now I can milk this thread for more info. No VAG's?

focus st is a 5 cylinder

And a Volvo 5-pot at that...

[Bones Brigade]

I didn't know the Fiat Coupe was a 5 cyl, but beyond that, there is only one actual 5 cylinder engine in the game, and it's in 3 different cars. (The two mentioned Volvos and Focus ST, though there are some differences with the version in the S60.)

{Cy}

tell you what the 5 pot turbo is damm quick when tuned

 

[calico]

fiat coupe turbo did a 2.0 4 pot and 2.4 5 pot turbo

 

[shirakawaa]

fiat coupe turbo did a 2.0 4 pot and 2.4 5 pot turbo

They were both 2 liter engines.
The earlier 4 cylinder version was Lancia Delta-derived and was better for modifications.

 

[matt-mtb]

Yep Is the tts a 5 pot, or a v6?

 

[Bones Brigade]

TTS is the 2.0 TFSI 4cyl. Only the RS has a 5 cyl and likewise, the V6 is only featured in one model.

 

[matt-mtb]

The v6 one is so crud on the car because its so nose heavy

 

[MOTORTRENDmitch]

Mercedes Evolouzion 2.5

 

[Griffith500]

Mercedes Evolouzion 2.5

That's a four cylinder.

 

[Ecchi-BANZAII!!]

VW Bora is a V5 I think too.

V5? I wouldn't wanna drive a car like that.

 

[Mark II Blit]

V5? I wouldn't wanna drive a car like that.

Why not? The V5 is a brilliant engine from what I've heard, and the articles I've read about the Bora V5 also come to the conclusion that the V5-engine is an absolute pearl. Sure, it's more thirsty than the VAG 1.8T, but it sounds so incredibly good

 

[Griffith500]

V5? I wouldn't wanna drive a car like that.

VR5, really. So it's not much different from the Audis, Volvos et al., but it is a bit more imbalanced, so the balance shaft is more complex and necessarily heavier than an ordinary straight 5, with the massive benefit of being able to squeeze it into smaller cars.

Honda made a "proper" V5 for their MotoGP bike, but that's uneven firing so it sounds very different, more like a VFR400.

Yeah, the unequal length runners sound cool, and they make for a fat torque curve, too. 👍

Nope, the 5 cylinder was a 2 litre as well mate.

And yet VW has balanced it perfectly.
The V5 is very smooth, and so good that one journalist went as far as saying the soulfulness of the engine more than made up for the Bora's lackluster handling, to a degree he'd prefer it over a Alfa Romeo 156 T-Spark or BMW 318i

Indeed, there were 1.8 (130ps), 2.0 (140) and 2.0T (190) inline 4 engines, all 16v. Then there were two 2.0 inline 5 20v engines, 150 and 220 in turbo form.

There was a 2.4 inline 5 20v (170) in the Fiat Stilo Abarth though. I have been trying to find more out about this engine, but haven't found any other applications for it. My girlfriends brother has one for a year or so, great car for the money used.

It's a shame there's so little info on the engine, as I'd really like to know how they offset the three cylinders acting in one direction and the other two in another direction. The other stuff is easily accounted for from other configurations, including the straight 5.

I know Honda used different bore sizes (hence different piston masses) in each bank to balance the forces in their V5, but I don't think that would work in the VR5, for practicality reasons when servicing.
