I agree....... I think we're looking at the right side, the cylinder head is in the middle of the pic and the intake manifolds are at the top.
I wonder if they tossed the original 4 cylinders they made for the car that vibrated so bad it was breaking stuff and causing a bunch of problems.
The fix was a different firing order which meant new cranks and cams...
Wonder if there ever will be another production car with a V4?

V4's have been around for decades....not at 500 hp, though
Is it as reliable as a VW?
I think I read that Toyota will switch to a turbo V4 with battery storage on their new 2016 hybrid LMP1 car. Previously they had a normally aspirated V8 with capacitor storage. They won the 2014 championship with that, but were completely uncompetitive against Porsche and Audi in 2015. These cars are crazy.
