Ever other piston is offset to the other to allow the engine to be shorter. It's not really a W shape configration as that would have two crankshafts on it... Difficult to explain really...

Oli you cant laugh at it , a production engine making 1000Bhp i think they may now this is just a MAY know slightly more than you 
you may think its restrictive but im sure there is a reason behind these things.
if you can do better please be my and probally the entire Corsa SPorts guest.
