I heard they refer to the engine and the amount of plugs connected to it..

so a v6 engined car has 6plugs connected to it like 3 on the left and 3 on the right, right??



secondly do they determine how fast a car can go ??

Heard v12 cars are insanely fast . for example your Lamborghinis and all..

They refer to the number of cylinders. There are some cars that are v6 but have more than six plugs. Like the Benz c240 that is V6 but has 12 plugs.

Not all v8 can run faster than v6... They might have more take off power and faster acceleration but they're not necessarily faster. You can't compare a v8 toyota sequoia to a v6 venza

The more the spark plugs the faster the car. The following engines are in existence and are consider the common ones and are as follows
1. W16 (16 spark plugs and cylinders) and is usually seen in Bugatti’s
2. V12 (12 spark plugs and cylinders) seen in Mercedes and Royce rolls and so Bentley
3. V10 (10 spark plugs and cylinders) seen in Audi R8
4. V8 (8 spark plugs and cylinders) seen in almost our cars (Toyota’s, Lexus and so on)
5. V6 (6 spark plugs and cylinder) seen in almost all car brands.
And finally straight 4 cylinder engine with four plugs. These one are the fuel efficient ones with 20 litres of fuel you can travel and come back without fueling the car immediately.
What determines how fast a car is the number of spark plugs and cylinders. That is to say that a w16 is faster than all the v12,v10,v8,v6 and straight 4 engines. Although, a small engine like straight 4 engine can be made to be powerful by using turbocharger and super chargers. Volkwagen, Audi and Mercedes are good with that kind of technology.

Some v6, v8 and v12 vehicle engines are built mainly for low end torque i.e the capacity to pull stuff like flatbeds, caravans, navigate very rough terrain, etc.. Examples are the FORD F series trucks, Toyota Tundra and even the Lexus GX470...

As per the GX 470, I speak from personal use.. Despite its being a V8, I wouldn't say its 0-60 acceleration is better than a 2010 Honda Accord v6 I owned earlier.. But where it really shines is in very rough terrain.. It delivers so much smooth power to its wheels at low Rpm to navigate very rough terrain.. I haven't used it to tow anything tho..

The Lambos and Porsche Saloons are the among the ones whose large engines are built for lightening acceleration and speed..


That's not to say the likes of the Ford F series, Toyota Tundra and Lexus GX470 aren't fast either.. Their 0-60 acceleration might not be as fast as even a v6 2010 Accord, or even a 2007 Accord v6, but they go fast enough at insanely low Rpms.. I remember doing 180km per hour on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway with the GX470 Rpm sitting steady at around 1.5k Rpm... Vehicle was wound up with Ac on, and it was as if I was rolling down one street in my area looking for chicks to toast

One of the super powers of v8. Having low revs at crazy speeds

Amazing. I used to think the higher the amount of plugs the faster the car ..

.so is there a V10 car??

how are the plugs calculated. half of it on each side of the vehicle shey??

Most healthy v6 engines also have low Rpms at high speeds, especially if they go into overdrive, though not as low as the V8s...

One sleeper v6 anyone should be beware of is the 2007 Honda Accord v6.. That car in a healthy state will dust a lot of healthy V8s...

btw I saw 10 plug engine in an old Mercedes .. some mlx /MLS model like that

One spark plug per cylinder

Even the Normal i4 accord is a beast not to talk of the v6

Yes there are

Audi R6 avant is a good example

That's true...it's a beast among it's own non-, turbo 4 cylinder mates...

The 8th generation v6 Accord (3.5l J35 earth dreams engine) is insanely fast!

I'm enjoy this car talk ✌️

iyke4dbi:
One per cylinder

one plug represent one cylinder!!

Does the size of a cylinder affects engine performance. Say for instance, does a Honda v6 with a slightly fatter cylinders outperform a Camry with a moderate sized 6 cylinders.

Another question: Can a V6 engine with turbo charger equate in power output or torque(as the case may be) to a V8 without any turbo?

I believe honda engine has more power than camry. Honda accord has more balance than camry on high speeds.

A v6 with turbo charger will definitely out run a v8 without turbo

This is not a thread for stupid kids. Well done Sirs.

Seems many folks don’t really know about how powerful Honda engines are 😁. The ball joint problem in the earlier years caused some serious de-marketing on a large scale, and took the attention away from the core features to look out in a car - operation and overall engine performance.

Calm down Sir

Honda unveiled its Earthdream Tech in 2011, and it's first introduction was in the 9th Generation Honda Accord V6, whose engine picture is shown below..If you zoom in a bit, I am sure you will see the Earthdreams badge ontop of the engine

I once owned a 2010 Accord V6 and I am very sure there was nothing Earthdreams about its engine.. Aside Vtech, it also had the Variable Cylinder Management tech in it which automatically shut down some cylinders in traffic to conserve fuel...The VCM's badge can be seen on top of those engines.

The smallest Lexus has a V7 engine

Thanks for the detailed explanations.How about the fuel consumption of V6 and V8 rides?
I use to see some transport companies using V8 rides for inter state does it mean it doesn’t consume much fuel?

my bad. Earth dreams correctly started with the 9th generation.

V6 etc is about cylinders not plugs per se because benz has a V6 engine and it uses 12plugs, Honda city with the idsi engine is a 4 cylinder engine with 8 plugs. But generally a 4cylinder should have 4 plugs, 6 cylinder 6 plugs only that diesel engines don't have plugs.
So a 6 cylinder diesel engine has zero plugs

Speed is not only about no of plugs sha, many other things play a role in determining speed but generally a Camry or Accord 6 plugs would be faster than 4 plugs provided other things remain constant
