Wow, Honda may start a trend of cars having more clutches than cylinders in the future. Who would have known this would be the way clutches would beat CVTs? But since we are gaining gears and ditching cylinders, let’s do a three vehicle garage tonight. One vehicle needs to have more cylinders than gears , another an equal amount of cylinders and gears, and the finally vehicle will need to have fewer cylinders than gears . Let’s see what you come up with!

As a bonus, if you chose to accept it, keep all the cars from model year 2007 and newer. Have at it and as always, enjoy yo’selves!

Since Honda is the inspiration for this post, I’ll go all Honda for this.

1. 92-93 NSX-R

2. 2014 Accord HFP

3. One of these (note the lack of sunroof and the text on the sign in the background...this isn’t your ordinary BB6)

More cylinders than gears:

As many cylinders as gears, if you got the four-speed:

More gears than cylinders (and one carburetor per cylinder, and zero valves per gear/cylinder):

I like to do these as DD, Track, and Burn(outs), too. So, I’ll add that challenge on top of your 2007+ challenge.

DD: Tesla Model S 60, pre-Autopilot, 0 cylinders, 1 gear:

Track: Audi R8 V10, previous generation, 10 cylinders, 6 gears:

Burn(outs): Dodge Challenger Hellcat, 8 cylinders, 8 gears:

(Mind you, none of these are exactly what I want, and my real dream garage has no room for a Hellcat. But, well, when I realized it had 8 cylinders and 8 gears...)

Easy, but I don’t want any car newer than 2007.

More cylinders than gears (8 cylinders, 2 gears):

More gears than cylinders (0 cylinders, 6 gears):

Equal amount of gears and cylinders (4 each):

The Regera actually has one gear, technically... it goes into first at 30 mph.
