V6 Twin Turbo Engine

More info about the engine

A V6 engine is an internal combustion engine designed in a V-shape. A V-shaped engine has greater handling, is a lot more space-efficient, and has an improved center of gravity compared to inline engines. Gasoline engines undergo the Otto four-stroke combustion cycle. The 4 strokes are intake, compression, power, and exhaust.

During the intake cycle, the intake valve opens and the pistons move down, allowing a fuel-air mixture to enter the cylinders.

As the compression cycle begins, the piston pushes the fuel-air mixture up into a smaller space which essentially creates a more powerful explosion.

After the piston moves the mixture into a tighter space, the spark plug (not included in the design) ignites the fuel and creates an explosion, forcing the piston to move back down. This is the power cycle.

The final cycle (exhaust) occurs when the exhaust valve opens to release the waste fuel caused by the explosion. The waste gas goes through a cleaning process in the catalytic converter and exits the vehicle through the tailpipe.

This entire process happens within seconds which is fascinating.
