wow I always wondered what you'd get if you made a v-4 engine. Why don't they make 4 cylinder engines in that formation these days? It would really take up less space on fwd applications. I bet they even sound better than inline 4s.

I think the only manufacturer left that makes a non-standard 4 cylinder is Subaru, and even though it is an opposed-cylinder design, in theory it is still an in-line engine.

Agree on the V4

I remember the older ones could spin 7000 rpms as they had no Balance shafts, the newer ones were degraded...
Friend had to put a head on an 89 GA GT with the Quad 4 16 valve and a 5 speed... He was impressed with it once we got it running

Ford of Europe made a V4 engine for a while back in the 50s and 60s. It was somewhat popular in little tiny econo cars, where the space savings mattered.
SAAB had a V4 in their Sonnet I and II sportcar models, but they weren't a good motor at all.
And I think Yamaha used a V4 in some cruiser bikes, V-max I think.
