I know of one other car with 5 valves per cylinder in the last 15 years, can you name it?

I think Yugo's might have 5 valves total, but certainly not 5 per cylinder

Mitsubishi were the first to market an engine with five valves per cylinder, with the 548 cc 3G81 engine in their Minica Dangan ZZ kei car in 1989

I said in the last 15 years, 1989 doesn't qualify

Volkswagen, Audi, Ferrari and Yamaha/Toyota have subsequently introduced five-valve engines as well. It is arguable if five valve configuration gives any benefit over four valve designs

The car I was specifically thinking of was the Ferrari 360 Modena. The 430 went back to a 4 valve design
