1. Combining V-angle and crankshaft topology
1.1 V angle
In a V (or Vé) engine, the cylinders are placed longitudinally on two separate banks, forming a V when viewed from the front. Each crankshaft pin is connected to two connecting rods, which in turn connect to the pistons. This architecture makes it possible to combine more cylinders in a smaller footprint than the same in-line iso-cylinder configuration.
At first glance, the V-angle appears to be a parameter that determines the overall dimensions of an internal combustion engine, but it is also a decisive factor in the dynamics of this type of engine
