The invention relates to a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine having at least one first, one second and one third cylinder and having a crank mechanism having a crankshaft, which is rotatably mounted in a crankcase, having a first, a second and a third crankpin, wherein a first connecting rod having a first piston for the first cylinder is allocated to the first crankpin, a second connecting rod having a second piston for the second cylinder is allocated to the second crankpin and a third connecting rod having a third piston for the third cylinder is allocated to the third crankpin, wherein the crankpins are arranged successively in an axial direction of the crankshaft, wherein the cylinders are arranged in a fan shape. The embodiment according to the invention represents an as of yet unknown type of W-3 reciprocating piston internal combustion engine having cylinder angles which can be largely freely sized. |
