V engines are a common configuration in internal combustion engines.
These engines consist of two banks of cylinders, which are placed side by side, usually at an angle of 60 degrees or 90 degrees.
The number of cylinders in each bank is the except for V3 and V5 engines.
These engines are seen in a V shape from the front profile, and that is why they are called V-shaped engines.
V engines are usually shorter and wider than equivalent linear engines
The most common are engines for cars, engines V6 , V8 and V12 which have 6, 8 and 12 cylinders respectively.
