Peter C Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 As some of you already know my obsession is W124 Mercs, which came with four, five and six cylinder in-line engines as well as a V8, with two and four wheel drive versions and in petrol and diesel flavours. Drivetrain and fuel options aside, that’s four different engine configurations in one model. Can you think of a model with more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody good example of multiple engine configurations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohdearme Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I seem to remember Ford doing some weird thing mid nineties where you could have any model escort with any engine trim? Granted that was more capacity and pez/Diz variation than cylinders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skizzer Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 The Renault 21 had a choice of transverse or north-south engine layout. Not to mention four different wheelbases. Stevebrookman, NorfolkNWeigh, Sir Snipes and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angle Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 If we're talking engine configuration in the strict sense, a Renault 21 1.7 has a transversely mounted engine but bigger engines are mounted longitudinally, with a marginally different wheelbase. Which seems like an incredibly French thing to be doing well into the 90s. Peter C, Ohdearme and RayMK 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadworkUK Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 It won't win, but the HC-generation Mazda Luce is worth a mention for offering I4, V6 or rotary power. Failing that, there's also the Vauxhall Nova, whose engine choices went right up to a C25XE 2.5-litre V6, although they always say "1.2 litre" on the logbook for some reason.
