Straight-5

The straight-5 is an internal combustion engine with five cylinders aligned in one row, sharing a single engine block[?] and crank case[?]. This configuration is a compromise between the smaller straight-4 and the larger straight-6.

Straight-5 engines are not very common, they've been seen on Audis and on some Diesel-powered Mercedes-Benz models.
