what does the "V" stand for in V6?

[Lozza150]

If you want a real spin out..... try and find out how a "Rotary" engine works....

well porche has one nice mofo of an engine in its strainght 6 and so does BMW with their m3 straight 6 and so does nissan with the rb's and so does toyota with their 2jz....i can see some sort of trend here...

my bro's 85zx was a 3L v6 but could only make 160hp yet my old supra was a 3L straight 6 and made 200hp! and we all know there's nothing wrong with the power out of nissan engines!

holden has a ***ed up v6 as does the magna so i base all my opinions on the evidence...

Has any car company made a V4? And would there be any savings in making one?

Yep SAAB made a V4 at the end of the 95/96 model cycle, and Lancia have been making them for decades. What a sweet little donk that is. :uh-huh:

Hehehe Lozza150, took me a while, but I finally got it!

woz the 'a real spin out' an intended pun?

Coz thats really quite nifty...

real spin out - rotary engines...

ford made a V4 back in the 70's for the capri, granada and transit and it was a piece of crap of a motor.

porsche never ever made an inline six. they were either a flat six, inline four, flat four or V8.

the Wankel roatary engine was originally a design for a water pump.

Oh my god.....

That makes a shiet load of power for a NA 6.
