Not exactly Coupe related but mildly interesting all the same. I was looking at other 5 cylinder engines and found this video of an amazing sounding Honda race bike from the sixties. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MRiPJBFEKADoes anyone know of any other impressive 5 cylinder engines?

A touch of repetition in this thread but worthy cars and engines. I recall going in a police T5 for work and even with a boot full of traffic cones it went like hell.

I don't really like the TT from the outside but I am so tempted to have a word with the bank manager and take one of THESE home Just seems much nicer than one of THESE
Gone Audi mad!

I had a V5 Golf for a while in 170bhp form
It was a great engine, sadly the rest of the car was pretty average.

The Volvo T5 and D5 engines are by far the most reliable units ever in mass production. Any competent mechanic in sure would agree. Great on fuel,bombproof units if left standard and very powerful. There's an 450 bhp estate 850 near me and its feared by many as the heartbreaker. 2.3 240bhp (pre fly by wire) was a very capable unit when tuned,with tuners looking out for the older t5 as opposed to the later 2.5 blocks.
I've happily owned many volvos down the years,Pre 2006 before the Ford and Peugeot rubbish plagued them.
However they don't sound like the fiat coupe unit due to the equal length manifolds.
