This allows for a very compact 6-cylinder where a traditional inline 6 or V6 would not fit. The firing order is also more akin to an inline six than a V6. As such it is incorrect to consider the VR6 as a true "V" - more as a subset of "inline" 6. Volkswagen AG does have traditional V6 engines amongst its lineup though; the 3.6 V6 is a proper V engine as I recall. So, somewhat less, but still FAIL

Nice one mate. So it is a V6, just not a fully fledged one :signLOL:

It is more correct to regard it as an inline engine for the reasons I've stated above, and will reiterate - narrow gap between the cylinders is effectively a staggered inline, and the firing order is more similar to an inline, and it is not inherently unbalanced like a 90* V6; it is not a true V6 and it is more incorrect to regard it as such.
Very Cherry, that's not butter popcorn is it? I could do with some.
VC:
it's buttered and salted :happy2:
i've had the vr6/v6 conversation soooo many times :grin:

Have to remember not to thank you or agree with you for fear of you going off on one and fail images in future. :stupid:

Thought you were disagreeing with me and that you were still calling it a vee :laugh: and have no fear of the fail imagery, it can apply to many things.
Fear nots, it's only the intarwebs

Not disagreeing with, it is still a V6 though, just not a 'proper' V6 :happy2:
