V6 engine A V6 engine is a V engine with six cylinders mounted on the crankshaft in two banks of three cylinders, usually set at a 60 or 90 degree angle to each other. The V6 is one of the most compact engine configurations, usually ranging from 2.0 L to 4.3 L displacement, and it is shorter than the inline 4. Because of its short length, the V6 fits well in the widely used transverse engine front-wheel drive layout. The V6 is

One year after the original three cars were introduced, the "stretched" LHS and New Yorker had different rear bodywork providing more overall length as well as a revised rear seat providing more leg room.

While front-wheel drive is standard, this generation marks the first use of all-wheel drive on a Lincoln Continental, but depending on trim, all-wheel drive is either optional or standard equipment. While sharing its fundamental chassis underpinnings with the Lincoln MKZ, the Continental is powered exclusively by V6 engines.

Both the Lancia V4 engine and the Lancia V6 engine used hemispherical chambers. Lotus has used hemispherical chambers in some of their engines (see photo to right).

Buick sold the tooling for this engine to Kaiser in 1967, as the demand for the engine was waning steadily in an era of V8s and muscle cars.
