The VR5 was a five-cylinder petrol engine developed by Volkswagen and built from 1997 to 2006. It was derived from the six-cylinder VR6 by leaving out the first cylinder, which kept the narrow 15 degree included angle of the VR layout and a displacement of 2,324 cc. Two staggered rows of cylinders, one of two and one of three, share a single short and wide bank and a single cylinder head, so the engine is about as short as an inline three. It first appeared as a two valve engine producing 150 PS and was updated in 2000 to a four valve version producing 170 PS. Volkswagen fitted it to the Golf Mk4, Bora, New Beetle and Passat B5, and SEAT used it in the Toledo Mk2.
