thats not really a V5, more like an offset or staggered I5

The honda is basically a V4 with an extra con rod journal in the center. They haven't released the exact details, but its believed that the 3 cylinders on one side are smaller diameter than the rear two.

They are also fired in a "big bang" patern, clustering all of the power strokes in small amount of crank rotation.

there's pics of the crank floating around on the net
