Lancia V6 engine

In 1950, Lancia introduced one of the world's first production V6 engines in the Lancia Aurelia. The engine was the work of Francesco De Virgilio and was developed to solve the vibration problems Lancia had experienced with its V4 engines. This was achieved by setting the vee angle to 60 degrees. It remained in production through 1970. Lancia used V6 engines in road, sports cars, and sports racing car (such as the D24). The D20 (7 produced) had a 60 degree quad cam V6 2962 cc 217 bhp (162 kW; 220 PS) engine and the D24 (6 produced) a 3300 cc V6 engine.
