    No turbines and electric motors yet?

    I'd go for...
    Jaguar XJ220 (6)
    Porsche 356 (4)
    Lexus LFA (10)
    Tesla Roadster (0)

    Mag's rule was "20 cylinders". The Honda NR has four pistons but by geometrical definition they are not technically cylindrical. (I hope I'm not being "Captain Obvious" here.)

    Nice loophole. Took me a minute to get it


    As for my 20 cylinder, 4 vehicle garage:

    Lancia Stratos Stradale (V6)
    1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 Lightweight (B6)
    1965 Jaguar E-Type 4.2 Coupe (I6)
    Norton Commando 961 SE (I2)

    This is a tough one because my ideal four car garage would probably have at least 44 cylinders (probably three V12s and one V8, because variety is the spice of life).

    I didn't include the TL or the Vigour.
    Me fail math? That's unpossible!

    Lotus Elan 26R (4)
    Austin Healey 100M (4)
    Chevron B6 BMW (4)

    That list is way too tough, there's so many cars i'd rather have with bigger engines

    Two additional:

    Fisker Karma Sunset
    Howmet TX

    Wow, I've never heard of the Howmet TX.

    Interesting car, thanks for bringing it up.

    Haha, if I pick a Chapparal 2J, does the "sucker" engine still count towards the cylinder count?

    So we're going to play that game, eh? I see your four car rule and bring in:

    Bugatti Type 35 (8 cyl)
    1927 Bentley supercharger (4cyl)
    Alfa Romeo 6C 6 cyl
    Brough Superior SS100 (2cyl, Lawrence of Arabia's bike)

    DEAL WITH IT.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.
