In the Nineties, you could buy a number of cars with gas or diesel five-cylinder engines. Now, the engine is limited to a handful of Audi RS models. Here's why.
, carburetion issues were the biggest impediment to gas five-cylinder development. Unless someone were to invent a five-barrel carburetor—which could only be used with a five-cylinder engine—metering out fuel evenly between the cylinders was virtually impossible. Audi actually did produce a small number of carbureted five-cylinders, but the vast majority, including all sold in the U.S. were fuel injected.
Honda introduced a five-cylinder in 1989 with the Acura Vigor, though only stuck with the engine for around a decade. Like Audi, Honda's 'five was mounted longitudinally, rather unusual for the brand, which almost otherwise exclusively used transverse engines.
