你可能已经看过Craigslist广告,卖家无意中写道他们的汽车有V-4引擎而不是直四引擎。在V-6和V-8很常见的世界中,这是一个可以理解的错误。但是,V-4不仅仅是一个印刷错误 – 它是一个真正的引擎。只是你不经常在汽车中它。
毫无疑问,摩托车骑手对V-4发动机非常熟悉,因为多年来许多摩托车制造商都提供了这款发动机。但很少有汽车制造商提供V-4 – 在战后时代,它仅仅出现在福特(为萨博提供发动机)和蓝旗亚。保时捷为919混合动力LMP1赛车使用了V-4,就这样。
正如Drivetribe的Mike Fernie所说,V-4很棒,因为它们相对较小。虽然它们当然比传统的直列四缸更宽,但V-4很短,因为一排只有两个气缸。它们的小尺寸也意味着它们非常坚硬,这对于919而言非常棒,因为它可以很容易地用作汽车底盘的受力构件。
你可能会认为V-4可能是非常不平衡和不精确的,但事实并非如此。它们相对较短的曲轴不会产生很多振动,并且如果气缸组间隔90度,则来自每个气缸组的主要力相互抵消,从而实现平稳运行。
问题是V-4非常复杂。与任何V型发动机一样,V-4需要两个气缸盖,两个排气歧管,两个气门系统,以及两个与直列四缸凸轮轴相同的凸轮轴。这意味着V-4开发成本高,而且制造成本高。蓝旗亚通过使用一个小的12度V角解决了这个问题,这意味着它只需要一个气缸盖。但是V-4的气缸组之间的角度小于90度,需要一个平衡轴,这就更复杂了。
因此,尽管有福特和蓝旗亚的实验,V-4从未在汽车中流行。在摩托车中,对于高端运动摩托车(如杜卡迪v4 Panigale)来说,额外的成本和复杂性是值得的,因为只有这么多的空间可以使用。对于919而言,V-4因其小巧的尺寸,高刚性和良好的燃油消耗而有意义。在发动机周围安装混合动力系统也很容易,保时捷为919设定了巨额预算,因此V-4的高成本不是问题。
