On a brighter note, here are six of the very best other V6 motors that have graced the tarmac over the past 70 years since Lancia first introduced the engine format. Maserati’s Chief Engineer, Ing. More PRV powered models followed into the 1980s, making this engine one of the most widely used V6s in automotive history, since the introduction of the pioneering Lancia Aurelia in 1950. It produces between 288 and 304 horsepower, depending on which vehicle it comes in. In its ultimate GT-R50 form, with revised coachwork by Ital Design, Nissan’s phenomenal V6 develops a massive 721PS, enabling this sizeable coupe to storm from 0-60mph (0-97km/h) in just 2.4 seconds, with a top speed exceeding 205mph (330km/h). Just over 70 years ago (10th May 1950 to be precise) one of motoring history’s most important and influential car makers – Lancia – introduced the world’s very first series production engine in a V6 configuration. When Mercedes first announced its 43 AMG Sport line, we were among the skeptics. These models use a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 with 362 that sounds fantastic.

GM uses the 3.6L V6 in a number of its automobiles, including the Chevrolet Camaro, Buick Enclave, Buick Lucerne and Chevrolet Traverse. A V6 Camaro 1LE actually beat a much more powerful Dodge Charger Hellcat around a track. Despite its high horsepower rating of 263, it's not found in the Ford Mustang. During the Aurelia’s eight-year production run, the capacity of its all-alloy pushrod V6 (with a hemispherical combustion chamber and inline valves) grew from its initial 76PS, 1.8-litre motor, through to a more torquey 113PS in its final 2.5-litre incarnation of 1957. These have ranged from the long-forgotten Mazda MX-3 (Eunos Presso in Japan), a small early-1990s 1.5-litre coupe with the most compact V6 engine ever made, through to the Jaguar XJ220, which used a modified 3.5-litre V64V V6 turbo (in place of the prototype’s V12), originally developed by Rover for use in its MG Metro 6R4 Group B rally weapon. Using the advanced hydrolastic DS as its base, Citroën developed an ambitious and expensive ‘Projet S’ four-seater GT coupe to top its range, but lacked a suitable engine to power such a machine. The Dino 206’s 2.0-litre V6 bore and stroke were altered to become the 2.4-litre unit found in the later Dino 246GT/GTS (plus the 2.4 Fiat Dinos), with the aluminium engine block changed to cast iron. Honda's 3.5L V6 produces 271 horsepower and 254 foot-pounds of torque. In addition, the Fiat Group slotted the Busso V6 into the prestigious Lancia Thema, Kappa and Thesis models, with the motor also used in a number of specialist niche cars, such as the Rayton Fissore Magnum 4x4, the Gillet Vertigo two-seater, the AC 3000 ME V6 prototype, the Ultima Can-AM kit car, plus many other applications. Alfieri was given six months to come up with the first Indy V8-based V6 prototype, but he achieved the task in just three weeks. With the respected French ‘Grande Marques’ (Bugatti, Delahaye, Delage, Talbot-Lago, Salmson, etc.) Toyota's 3.5L V6 comes in the Toyota Camry, Avalon, RAV4 and Highlander, although several of the vehicles come with four-cylinders in base form. 553452, By clicking submit you are accepting the terms of Goodwood’s, The six best V6 engines of all time – Axon's Automotive Anorak, Alfa Romeo has had a history of producing great motor cars, Why the Brussels Motor Show isn’t dead – Axon’s Automotive Anorak, Axon's Automotive Anorak: Attack of the vans, GRR Garage: Nissan X‑Trail – The road home via Reims, Axon's Automotive Anorak: Brussels, a motor show that works, Message from The Duke of Richmond and Gordon. Employing a 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V6 (designated VR38DETT), the initial R35 GT-Rs developed an adequate 486PS, this power output gradually growing to the whooping 570PS generated by the current Nissan model. The Mustang receives the lower-power 4.0L V6 for base models, with an optional V8. ©2020 The Goodwood Estate Company Limited.

Following a trio of 60-degree Ferrari V6 motors in the 196 S/SP, 246 S and 260PS, 2.5-litre 286 S – all used in competition forms only between 1959-62 – the 65-degree Dino V6 engine continued to be run for racing through to the late-60s, with the motor also finding its way into production road car use in the Dino 206GT of 1967, with Enzo’s first ‘official’ mid-engined model (this following the earlier Fiat Dino V6 Coupe and Spider models of 1966; sharing the same engine and built to help satisfy contemporary competition homologation requirements). For one, fewer cars are built with a V8 engine. These included the underrated Alfa 90, as well as the elegant 164, urgent 75, distinctive SZ/RZ, the Pininfarina-styled GTV/Spider, plus the sublime 147 GTA 3.2, the 156, 166 and GT coupe, ranging from 132PS, right up to 240PS.

The new Aurelia’s game-changing 60-degree V6 engine was developed under the direction of gifted Italian engineer Vittorio Jano and his colleague Francesco de Virgilio between 1943 and 1948, created as a response to the occasional vibration problems Lancia had experienced with its smaller V4 unit. Sharing an uncommon 90-degree angle like the SM’s Maserati V8-derived V6 (Citroën being taken over by Peugeot in 1974, after the creation of the SM’s V6), the PRV motor first saw use in the autumn of 1974 in the new Volvo 264 saloon, plus the facelifted Pininfarina-built Peugeot 504 Coupe and Cabriolet 2.7-litre, 138PS, V6 models.
