Inline 4s - Crankshafts

Can Automation ever expect crossplane crankshafts for Inline 4 engines?
I expect this will not even be considered at the moment but can it be expected as a DLC or popularized into the game through future update?
I know the tycoon is to be completed before v12s.

I'm not really sure of the point to be honest, as far as I'm aware they've only been used in one application (R1) and that was to exploit some strange traction advantage of the slightly different power delivery.

I'm assuming you mean the Yamaha R1, btw?

Also, pardon me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it said that the devs were going to try to fit some of the new engine types into the same timeline as the Tycoon update?
