Straight Five Cylinder Engine:
The straight-five engine, also referred to as an inline-five engine, abbreviated I5, is a piston engine with five cylinders mounted in a straight line along the crankshaft.

Straight-five engines are typically shorter than straight-six engines, making them easier to fit transversely in an engine bay. Straight-five engines are smoother running than straight-four engines, shorter than straight-six engines, and narrower than V engines and flat engines.

VR5 Engine:
Volkswagen introduced the first V5 engine, though this engine is not a true twin-bank V engine, but rather a VR5, or staggered bank straight-5 engine, and therefore not a true V5.

Volkswagen’s VR5 engine was a unique piece of automotive history Developed in the 1990s. While functioning much like an inline-five engine, the VR5 was its own animal. With three cylinders on one side and two on the other, the VR5 required a whole bunch of complex engineering to keep it balanced and innovative design decisions to get it to breathe.

The interesting thing is the cylinders are at a 15-degree angle. To get the 15-degree cylinders not to contact each other, they pushed the cylinder outboard and offset them.

V5 Engine:
The V5 engine was developed as a direct result of major changes to the regulations for the World Championship motorcycle road racing 500 cc class for the 2002 season.

The name of the class was modified to MotoGP, and while two-stroke engines remained limited to 500 cc and four cylinders, four-stroke engines were now allowed to be as large as 990cc and from three to six cylinders which led many teams to switch to four-stroke designs.
