1, V-type engine: V-type engine is small in height and length, which is convenient to arrange on the vehicle. Increasing the cylinder diameter is convenient to improve the displacement and power, and is suitable for higher cylinder numbers.

2.w engine: The engine can be made shorter and the crankshaft can be shorter, which can save the space occupied by the engine and make it lighter.

Second, the classification is different.

1 and v engines: divided into V5 engine, V6 engine, V8 engine, V 10 engine, V 12 engine and V 16 engine.

2.W engines: There are four W engines, namely, W8, W 12, W 16 and W 18.

Third, the shortcomings are different.
