When it comes to cars, we have seen the world change from long ago, when engines ran on steam, to now, when engines run on gasoline. As man evolved, so did his big toys (vehicles).

You’ve probably heard of V6 and V8 engines when talking about car engines, right? Let me fill you in. If you don’t know what a 6-cylinder engine is, don’t worry. After reading this, you’ll know everything there is to know about them.

A 6-cylinder engine, also called a V6 engine, has 6 cylinders. The number shows how big the engine is. All done! The downside is that the more powerful the engine is, the more gas it uses. Now, let’s look at some of the V6 engines that don’t get enough credit.

Jaguar AJ126

The AJ126 has made quite a name for itself when it comes to being sporty, luxurious, and quiet. The V8 version of the Jaguar is usually loud, which can be annoying. The V6 version, on the other hand, is quiet, even when driving through a quiet neighborhood. Most sports cars have switched from superchargers to turbochargers, but the AJ126 has stayed with its superchargers. Good for the company!

Honda C32B

Since we are looking at 6-cylinder engines, something is going on under the hood of the Honda C32B. Only a few small changes were made to make it feel and work differently than the C30B. These were the larger intake valves, head gaskets, and fiber-reinforced cylinders that were bored to a smaller diameter.

Alfa Romeo ‘Busso’ V6

The name “Busso” was a big deal in the history of cars. The last show was in 2005, but the story is still told today. The size of the Alfa Romeo engine went from 2 liters to 3.2 liters, which shows how quickly it grew. Busso has made a name for itself because it works well, has good low-end power, and has a unique engine.
