I think that we've done biggest spread in engine capacity before? I think it might be the W204 (late 2000s) Mercedes-Benz C-Class, which could be had from anything from a 1.6 petrol/diesel up to a 6.2 litre V8 in the C63 AMG model but what about engine configurations?

My instinct says early 2000s VW?

The original Touareg was available with:
I5 diesel
VR6 petrol
V6 diesel
V8 petrol
V10 diesel

or the B5 (early 2000s) Passat with:
I4 petrol/diesel (both turbo and NA)
VR5
VR6
V6 diesel
W8

Are there any vehicles (in a single model/generation) that were available with more different engine configurations than these?
