Isn't that "two VR4s in a V configuration"? Assuming you're talking about the W8?

The VR designation is argued by many to still be considered inline and not a "V". If you accept that argument, then the comment stands.

I don't see how. "Two inline V4s" would be a V8. VW does not have a V8 (though Audi does). VW's W8 is made up of two VR4s, with each VR4 serving as a "bank" of the W. Even if you consider a VR to be "inline" (which I don't - inline means *in line*) then the W8 is made of "two inline fours", not "two V4s".

Sigh. The original comment was based on an inline V6 engine. Which is by definition impossible. The VR engines are considered to be both inline *and* V by different groups of people, thus it can be argued (with tongue firmly in cheek) that it is in fact an inline V6. Thus, the W8 is made with two inline V4s.
